Volunteers are always needed when people ask how they can help, we turn to our tagline: Donate, Volunteer. Go to our website if you wish to donate or volunteer or call:510-384-8604.
Transition to 8829 Plymounth Strreet, Oakland, Ca have been made. It was a success. A lot of hard work was put into this transition and now I can say it was worth the effort.
A new format for helping those who are hungry and need food is called: Client Choice.
Instead of people standing in lines to get food, there is a waiting area inside the panty for them to sit enjoy a cup of coffee and donuts while they wait to shop for their food items.
The Food Pantry opens it doors on March 2, 2012.
