Homelessness and Hunger

In looking around our Castro community, homelessness is increasingly obvious. While there are efforts citywide and by a Castro consortium of businesses and community interests to bring more effective solutions to this problem, the homeless still are hungry every day.

In November 1997, MCCSF started our Simply Supper program. This program is designed to meet a need in the Castro -- people who do not have the resources for a necessary meal. This is a simple solution to a very complex problem, but we know that doing nothing is unacceptable.

• What is Simply Supper? A food program in the Castro that provides nutritious meals to hungry people.
  
• Who eats at Simply Supper? Anyone who is hungry. We are currently serving 60-70 meals each evening of the program.
  
• When is Simply Supper? Tuesday at the Prevention Point Needle Exchange J Church Site from 6:00 - 8:00 PM; Wednesday and Friday at 150 Eureka Street from 4:00 - 5:00 PM.
  
• How is Simply Supper Supported? Through contributions generously given to Simply Supper through the Metropolitan Community Foundation.
