  Our approximately thirty South Oakland Shelter guests said they were overwhelmed by the warmth and openness of our volunteers. They said everyone was willing to go the extra mile to help them. Our SOS guests, while at SJF, enjoyed playing softball, cards, watching movies, talking with SJF members and each other, sharing in good food and fellowship. Classes were also offered throughout the week, providing learning opportunities in areas like budgeting and good parenting, as part of SOS’s commitment to education.

Over 1,800 volunteer hours were recorded; hours that will be used to ensure matching dollars in future grant applications for the South Oakland Shelter.

Below is a thank you that was received from one of this year’s guests:
“Thank all of you so much for the wonderful time and fellowship we had a great time and enjoyed all of ya'lls company. May all of you there at St. John Fisher be blessed beyond measure for all that everyone did for us. We thank you for the rides, the food, games, fellowship and the acceptance that means the world to us.” – SOS Guest
