St. Anthony is at ground zero of the homeless and fentanyl crisis in San Francisco. I am an active volunteer, serving food, cleaning the kitchen, and providing a helping hand wherever needed. I especially loved putting my Spanish skills to good use and being able to communicate with people in their native language. It was such a joy to be able to connect with people and make them feel seen. Working at St. Anthony’s was originally my core service project at school, but I loved it so much that I went above and beyond what was asked. The priests there gave me two rosaries to thank me for my time there, one for me and one for my grandmother.
