“Welcome to South Hayward Parish! We serve up to 700 families per week with much-needed food and supplies donated and purchased through our local agencies and stores like the Alameda County Food Bank, Costco, Panera, Grocery Outlet, and more! South Hayward Parish has been around over 50 years and is continuing to expand and evolve, figuring out even better ways to serve and transform the community around us.
We also serve as one of very few shelters for the homeless in the East Bay. We provide meals and a warm, safe place to sleep from those who are normally on the streets at night.
We are looking forward to serving you and your family in your time of need!”
