San Diego Eagles returned last Saturday to Our Lady’s School in Barrio Logan for the first of two service activities in conjunction with BC’s Global Days of Service. (This Saturday, we’ll return to the San Diego Food Bank.)

The chapter has been doing projects at Our Lady’s School for several years. The school is sponsored by the parish, Our Lady of Guadalupe, the only Jesuit parish in San Diego County. Also participating this year in the service projects was a contingent of alumni from Santa Clara University.

2016 project completed

Ironically, the BC group’s work this year was, in a sense, to undo a project we had built two years earlier. In May 2016, we cleared weeds, installed lattices, and built a gravel walkway in a small garden area. Regrettably, that garden area, which is separated from the school, had been unused because of security issues and was now overgrown.

This time, we cleared the area to permit future use when the security situation has improved.

Here’s a gallery of photos from the activity April 28.

A dozen San Diego BC alumni spent the early afternoon Saturday, May 20, evaluating and sorting donations to the San Diego Food Bank. Below is a photo of the group, along with an inset of two fellow participants.

Time at the Food Bank is one of the periodic service activities arranged by the chapter each year. Look here and on Facebook for information on upcoming such events.

San Diego Eagles helped out Saturday morning at the San Diego Food Bank, preparing food bags to be distributed to students in local schools. The crew above, assisted by others, including Girl Scouts, assembled more than 1,200 bags during the morning shift.
