 Hunger Project: Serving for Over 25 Years!
Since 1986, the CBI Hunger Project, in partnership with St. Vincent de Paul Village, has served over 900,000 meals to those in need in the general San Diego community. Founded originally by CBI member Joan Kutner, the Hunger Project serves a warm, nourishing meal to approximately 700 people each week. Patrons include young and old alike, span all ethnicities and religions, from the homeless to those who must make the difficult choice between whether to buy essential medicine or their next meal. When this most basic of human needs is met, there is renewed hope and dignity.
How to Volunteer
The Hunger Project needs volunteers every Sunday morning. Volunteers must be at least 12 years old and be accompanied by a parent if under 18. The Hunger Project continues to be a great way for Bar/Bat Mitzvah students to fulfill a portion of their Ma'aseh Mitzvah requirements. If you are part of a committee, chavurah or other CBI group, consider providing the 12-15 volunteers needed for a Sunday. This can build great teamwork while doing a mitzvah for the community.
