Bodega Day

Bodega Day

Every Thursday at the Casa is “Bodega (Grocery) Day.”  Families obtain a ticket from the Social Service office, and bring a bag to fill.

In many cases, this bag of groceries may be all the food the family has for the week.

The families typically receive:

  • A kilo of beans
  • bodegaday22 or 3 loaves of day-old bread
  • Rice
  • Miscellaneous cans of food, depending on what’s been donated
  • Maybe small potatoes or squash
  • Backyard fruit that’s been donated

It’s a treat for the visitors to the Casa to receive fresh fruits and vegetables!
