St. Paul's Mattress Project
Parishioners and friends collect old plastic bags and then fill mattress covers, donating the finished products to local charities. The mattresses are
intentionally shorter than standard mattresses, to ensure that they’re mainly used for children. The church works with the local Feed the Hungry
program, which builds kitchens and distributes food in areas outlying San Miguel where the need is the greatest.
