The Cupboard is BARE!!!

Catholic Worker House at 626 Nolan is alive… and hobbling.
We are still serving breakfast and lunch daily Monday through Friday.

But, serving OUTSIDE in the front yard… ”Grab and Go” style. Our numbers have climbed from about 75 in the recent past to almost double – 146 yesterday!

Our guests are telling us that we are the only place in town with regular serving hours. We are seeing many new faces, folks new to the San Antonio area who don’t know where to go.

Up until yesterday (Thursday March 26th), we were able to serve a take-out HOT meal.  Now we must serve bagged meals with sandwiches, chips, cookies, and fruit.

We have sandwiches…THANK YOU St. Mark’s Traveling Loaves and Fishes. But both TLF and CWH have run out of fruit, salty and sweet snacks, and bottled drinks to go with the sandwiches.  And soon, it seems we will run out of bread.

WHAT WE NEED … A S A P


•    Chips… or any salty snacks (individually wrapped is best, but we do have small ziplock bags and can bag them at CWH)
•    Cookies or any sweet dessert snack (individual or bulk)
•    Soft fruit… no apples please
•    Canned fruit for breakfast
•    Granola bars or similar
•    Individual mayonnaise and mustard packets, but we will take jars, too
•    Brown paper lunch bags… or any kind of small bags
•    Small styrofoam coffee cups or any left-over seasonal hot drink cups
•    Water bottles
•    Bread

We are not asking you to go out and buy these items … we have already tried and that has not worked!!! The stores are not restocked quickly enough yet. Please just see if your cupboard has any of these items that you don’t need or want anymore.

If you drop these by Monday through Friday between 8 and noon, you do not have to get out of your car. There are always volunteers in the front yard.
