South County
South Santa Clara County is made up of Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy.
Morgan Hill is a success story in community collaboration. Around 2004, there were no free meal services offered to the needy in Morgan Hill. Martha’s Kitchen invited different churches to partner with the San Jose soup kitchen to open their doors to the hungry in the community. The offer was simple: the church provides the venue and volunteers while Martha’s Kitchen provides the meal free of charge. Advent Lutheran was the first one to step up to the plate. Today, free meals are offered Monday through Thursday, and Saturday every week at different churches. Once a quarter, Cathedral of Faith serves around 500 people. To top it all, in the spirit of community collaboration, Rotary Club of Morgan Hill recently donated a van in cooperation with The Ford Store so Martha’s Kitchen can deliver meals to these churches instead of having them pick up from San Jose. We also send meals to Salvation Army and National Guard Armory in Gilroy.
