Food distribution reaches 17 million meals and counting. Pandemic relief still critical to families, individuals, and seniors in our community.
Food Distribution Schedule and Locations
In late July, CEO of Catholic Charities Greg Kepferle addressed a crowd gathered at St. Lucy’s Parish in Campbell, one of six drive-through food distribution sites to help families and individuals impacted by the pandemic. The event recognized the agency’s volunteers, nonprofit partners and corporate supporters in achieving an amazing milestone: Food distribution had reached almost 17 million meals since the effort began in March 2020. But behind Greg as he stood at the podium, long lines of cars were cued up and waiting to get groceries—a grim reminder that the need for pandemic relief efforts are far from over. “As we extend our sincere thanks to all of the individuals and groups who have made this amazing food distribution network possible, I want to make sure we understand that we are still in a disaster,” Greg said.

In fact, our staff and partners are continuing to register an increase in first-time seekers of food and services at our sites—even these many months into the pandemic.” The pandemic caused increasing demand week-over-week with not only more people needing food, but also living in areas of the county with previously low demand for these basic services. As a disaster first-responder covering the gaps in basic services, Catholic Charities pivoted staff and resources to meet these demands, working with our incredible staff, volunteers and community partners including Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, Martha’s Kitchen, and Loaves & Fishes. As the recovery continues, Catholic Charities will continue to be here for the community with our food distribution sites located currently in San Jose, Campbell, and Mountain View, and will expand services based on demand. Additionally, the agency will continue food services for seniors, support for housing resources, rental assistance, and services to those in the process of rebuilding their lives due to the devastation of the pandemic
