Blue Butterfly Village Food Drive at Neighborhood Church

Help us stock the pantry at Blue Butterfly Village! Blue Butterfly is a housing community in San Pedro serving homeless families. Of Blue Butterfly’s 73 units, Veterans receive preference for 61 and families eligible under the Mental Health Services Act receive priority for the remaining 12. Restocking their pantry after the busy Holiday season is one of the ways we support Blue Butterfly and the critical services they provide to families and veterans.
