This Season, Give More Than a Gift. Give Hope

The holidays can be a time of warmth, celebration, and connection. But for many of the people in our community, they can also be a time of deep need. 

Sponsor a Community Member

Through the Giving Hope program, you can make a real difference this holiday season by sponsoring a local family, older adult, or people in our Homeless Services programs.

How it works:

  • Receive a wish list from a family or older adult in need
  • Shop for the items with care and intention
  • We’ll deliver your gifts with love and respect

Your generosity brings comfort and joy to members of our community who need it most.

Families come in all shapes and sizes, from individuals to large multigenerational households, and many include beloved pets. Sponsors are encouraged to spend about $125 per family member on wish list items and gift cards. Let Jane know your budget, and she’ll match you with a family that fits.

Contact Jane for details via email or by calling 510-574-2026.

Other Ways to Give

If shopping isn’t the right fit for you, there are still meaningful ways to support our efforts.
