Outreach
Putting our faith into action by serving our neighbors in need.
The Inter-faith Food Pantry
Join fellow St. Luke’s parishioners in a morning of serving the neighborhood by volunteering at our Inter-faith Food Pantry (hosted every Saturday morning at Old First Presbyterian Church, one block south from St. Luke’s on Van Ness Ave.). Over 300 people receive groceries each week in a cooperative effort between the San Francisco Food Bank and local churches. Email the office to find out how to volunteer.
Participating churches:
Calvary Presbyterian
First Unitarian Universalist
Old First Presbyterian
St. Luke’s Episcopal
St. Mark’s Lutheran

St. Luke's has a longstanding connection to the good work done at the Bayview Mission, a great community resource founded and orchestrated by the Rev. Canon Nina Pickerell. There are many ways to support Bayview Mission:
Direct donations, priority items (new or in good condition) include:

diapers, especially size 5 and newborn
toiletries and dental supplies

laundry supplies
There is a collection basket in the back of the church.
