Coastside Community Breakfast

Every Wednesday and Thursday, from 7-9am, volunteers at the Coastside Community Breakfast feed between 70-100 people (150-200 meals per week). The Breakfast serves hot, nutritious food such as eggs, sausage, veggies, oatmeal, pancakes, French toast, coffee and OJ to neighbors in need of food or fellowship.  Our guests come from our Half Moon Bay community and include unhoused people, seniors, farmworkers, and families with children. The Breakfast has become a place where our guests come together to enjoy good food and socialize with each other and our volunteers. No strings attached; no questions asked.  

Our volunteers include members of Coastside Lutheran Church, other faith communities, the Rotary Club and the Coastside community at large.  Everyone who works at the Breakfast is a volunteer. Because there are no salaries or administrative overhead, our funding goes a long way. In 2024, it cost us just under $3 per meal. With the rising cost of eggs and food in general, every donation will be even more important. 

All donations made to the Community Breakfast are used to buy supplies and pay the expenses of running the Breakfast. Funding for the Breakfast comes from support from our partner Abundant Grace Coastside Worker, grants from organizations such as SVCF and Peace Lutheran Church, fundraisers such as the CLC Book Faire and Coastside Gives as well as from individual donors.  A donation of $150 pays for 50 meals.
