Emergency Food Drive Donations Needed for Local Families

Andi McCleod, a UUFSD member, started hearing about families out of work during this pandemic and there being a great need for food. UUFSD and St. Leos are partnering with Catholic Charities to support an emergency food bank for Solana Beach families. To supplement the canned foods each family receives,UUFSD will be holding a weekly food drive to collect the following:

dried pinto beans
white rice
cooking oil
fideo pasta
breakfast cereal
eggs
milk
juice
fresh vegetables and fruit

Food donations can be dropped off at St. Leo Mission, 936 Genevieve St., Solana Beach, every Tuesday through Friday by using the drive-thru between 6:00-8:00 PM. Online food donations can be sent directly to St. Leo Mission. Cash and Checks (made out to St. James-St. Leo Catholic Community) are also appreciated and can be dropped off at St. Leo between 6:00-8:00 PM Tuesdays-Fridays or mailed to St. James-St. Leo Catholic Community, c/o Deacon Peter Hodsdon, 625 S.
