Sacred Heart Community Service

Sacred Heart Community Service is a San Jose nonprofit working toward a community free from poverty by creating hope, opportunity, and action. At 1381 S 1st St, the organization provides practical support while organizing with community members to improve access to resources and advance social justice.

Services include supplemental groceries, food requiring no preparation for people experiencing homelessness, and a free Clothes Closet offering donated clothing, shoes, accessories, and linens. Sacred Heart also supports food access through La Mesa Verde, an urban gardening initiative that helps families grow food and participate in community organizing around the local food system.

Housing and financial assistance may include emergency security-deposit help, other assistance related to housing stability, case management, legal support, and temporary financial assistance through the Santa Clara County Homelessness Prevention System. Visit Sacred Heart Community Service for program details and application guidance. Additional information is available through NHREA’s California homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources. Confirm current program details directly with the organization.
