Thank you, POV, for once again supporting our CCSA Back-to-School Backpack Program. We successfully filled 24 backpacks, 6 for kids K-2nd grade and 18 for

kids 3rd-9th grade. Thanks to all of the "back-packers", and to Pam Crusberg for delivering them on Wednesday, 8/7.

The supplies for the backpacks, which were ordered in bulk, cost $736.10. Thanks to your generosity, we raised $1330.73! The surplus funds will go toward the

CCSA Summer needs program, which provides much needed items for homeless folks, who are served by the Pacific Beach location. Click on the image to view the PDF flyer.

Storefront Youth Emergency Shelter is the only emergency shelter for youth in San Diego, helping youth who do not have a safe place to live or are victims of physical or sexual abuse, neglect or exploitation. POVUCC supports Storefront guests and volunteers by providing a meal on the 2nd Thursday of each month. As of July 2024, the guidelines for providing meals have changed. Volunteers can prepare and deliver a home-cooked meal, order food to be delivered, or provide $150 in Vons/Albertsons gift cards for volunteers to purchase food (must be delivered at least two days in advance). POVUCC needs more volunteers to support this important program. Click below for more details on how to help. Sign up in the narthex or contact Susan Namba  or Pam Crusberg . Thank you for helping us “be the church!”
