Food lines continue to grow as cars line up for blocks at a time for bags and boxes of food. This week saw a coalition of churches and community organizations including SD Hip Hop 5K (Organizer, Carleton Overstreet), Connecting Hope (Pastor Ray Smith), Greater Mount Zion Baptist Church Volunteers, and I am My Brothers’ Keeper (Bros. Charles 3X). Over 300 cars lined up for the distribution which was held from 11am ‘til 12 noon at Greater Mt. Zion. The free food giveaway also included masks.

On Tuesday, there was a food giveaway at Calvary Baptist Church. Dr. LaVerne Davis of B5 Foundation, UDW and a member of Calvary Baptist Church was one of the volunteers coordinating the giveaway. Mrs. Francine Maxwell, President of the San Diego Chapter of the NAACP stopped by to pick up bags for some homebound seniors. There was another Food Distribution by I am My Brothers’ Keeper, Paving Great Futures and the Hip Hop 5K volunteers at the Jacobs Center from 4pm until 6pm the same day.

We salute those volunteers and their service to our entire community.
