Sacred Heart Community Service served about 10,000 people when it moved into its new building at Alma Avenue and South First Street in 1998. Today, that number has skyrocketed to more than 50,000 people, squeezing the existing space beyond its limit. Which is why the nonprofit was thrilled to give the community a sneak peak last weekend at a second location at 550 S. First St., in the heart of downtown San Jose’s SoFA District.
Sacred Heart Community Service Associate Director Lydia Bustamante gives a tour of the nonprofit’s new space at 550 South First St. in downtown San Jose on Saturday, March 26, 2022. The open house on Saturday — which included performances by Calpulli Tonalehqueh Aztec Dance, San Jose Taiko and Oriki Arts African Drum and Dance — also marked the start of a $2 million capital campaign with a twist. Guevara says the campaign’s primary goal is to get 10,000 donors, contributing anywhere from $5 on up, as part of the “Building Community Together” effort.

The opening of the restaurant at the cavernous site of a former Rite Aid store on the border of San Jose and Cupertino was attended by hundreds of guests and included lion dancers and the ceremonial cutting of a roasted pig.
