Empowering the Homeless & Creating a Safer, Cleaner Bay Area
Uniting to Meet Essential Needs
Each Thursday, we bring the community together to distribute vital items like warm clothing, bedding, and personal care products to those in need.
These donations, both new and gently used, can be donated to our organization and provide immediate relief and comfort across the Greater Bay Area, particularly in Oakland.
Please explore the “Get Involved” section of our website to find volunteer opportunities, upcoming events, make donations and learn how you can contribute to our initiatives.
