Friends Feeding Friends is an outreach ministry of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
It was started in memory and in honor of Sarah Jean Deniston, whose dream at age 4 was “So people who are really hungry have food”. Our goal is to bring life to Sarah’s dream, which we believe is God’s mission, serving homeless and low income people in our community.

On Call Volunteers
Our On Call Volunteers are people who are willing to pick up donations when the occasion arises. They also deliver food and furniture to those in need. For more information about being an On Call Volunteer talk to Dana.
In 2018 we assisted over 22,000 people with emergency food, provided furnishings to 300+ others who transitioned from homelessness to housing, prepared and served almost 3000 hot meals at Adult Interim Shelters and provided food, blankets, sleeping bags, coats, beanies, socks, scarves and grooming supplies to homeless people throughout Contra Costa County. In addition to all this, Friends Feeding Friends Ministry supported needy families, senior adults, disabled people and Veterans as needed.
