St. Anthony Padua Dining Room in Menlo Park serves meals to the hungry and homeless, while addressing the problems of poverty and homelessness. They provide over 500 free hot lunches a day, Monday through Saturday from 11am-1pm.
On the second Saturday of each month, 5 volunteers from VPC go to the Padua Dining Room to prepare or serve food to long lines of people who need this help. Additionally, VPC Mission funding helps with the sustaining needs of the dining room.
