Every other Saturday during the semester, we serve freshly made pancakes topped with our folks’ choices of butter, fruit, and chocolate chips! We are aware that we cannot solve the issue of homelessness downtown only through providing food; the program builds relationships and trust with the families and veterans in need. We aim to humanize folks who have been marginalized and mistreated in the San Diego community. Pancakes ​SUH serves as a platform for people who are looking for volunteer opportunities and resource agencies that assist those who are in need.

Every other Saturday-

We begin Saturday, Sept 12,

Every few weeks, USD students and University Ministry staff prepare and deliver dinner to residents at both Rachel’s Night Shelter and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. Rachel’s Night Shelter is an emergency shelter for women who are unhoused in San Diego and looking for short-term, supportive, and safe housing. Our Lady of Guadalupe Migrant Ministry offers meals and shelter to migrant men who either have no destination or are seeking opportunities to travel to their next destination.

This semester, we will once again be able to prepare meals to share and enjoy with the residents at Rachel’s and OLG Parish. Our evenings will consist of cooking, eating, and engaging in a conversation about topics of migration and homelessness to deepen our understanding and commitment to justice and social action.

Trips to Rachel’s Night Shelter and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish are open to all current USD undergraduate, graduate, and law students.
