Sacred Heart Community Service

“Our mission is to build a community free from poverty by creating hope, opportunity, and action. We provide essential services, work together to improve our lives, organize for justice, and inspire our community to love, serve, and share.”

We all deserve access to healthy, affordable food. Our volunteers offer two essential food programs: a three-day supplemental supply of groceries and an assortment of food for members who are currently homeless that requires no prep or cooking. Due to COVID-19, we are currently not zip-code restricted and everyone who lives in Santa Clara County can come for food once per week.

JobLink provides employment assistance and financial coaching to connect job seekers to mutual support networks, skills development, and resources to achieve (and maintain) long-term employment. JobLink can help with resumes, preparing for interviews, finding employment opportunities, and more. A new-member orientation is required to review the multitude of resources available at your fingertips upon joining the network.

There are many different kinds of public benefits designed to give people a bit of help while we sort out our household finances. You may be eligible to receive benefits like food stamps (CalFresh), help with utility bills, internet services and a device to connect to the internet, or other public support. Sign up for a screening with a program coach to learn more.
