An Amazing Week!
20 Volunteers signed up in 24 hours to deliver face masks and hand sanitizer to our low-income senior, veteran and disabled neighbors. We received so many phone messages from the people you touched with your kindness. "My name is Beatrice and I'm one of your clients and I just wanted to call and thank you and Lisa and Sonia for that nice little happy holiday bag that your beautiful volunteer lady dropped by my house. I hope that all your families are well and I hope that they stay safe. Thank you so much again for the mask the hand sanitizer. I appreciate it greatly. It is so hard to get a mask. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and happy holiday season. God bless. Hope that this pandemic will be over in the spring so that we can start to work on some of the projects again thank you so much and God bless. Bye bye." – Beatrice 10 kind people brought us 6% closer to our $200,000 goal with their generous donations. Help us reach that goal. Only $126,000 more to go!!!

What a Difference A Roof Makes.Since launching our Keep Oakland Covered Campaign in October we have been able to raise more than $61,000 of our $200,000 goal. We have completed two roof repairs and are getting ready for the third roof in January. We've completed 25 of the Home Mobility Modifications that help our low-income senior, veteran and disabled neighbors stay in their homes. This work hinges on your generous support.
Above are photos of Mrs. Scott's roof. It is the first we were able to complete this year. She is was one of the 40 people who have been on our long list for roof repairs. We found three layers of shingles on her home, and when we removed them there was extensive rot underneath. Needless to say the cost of repair was higher - $15,000. The good news! is that Mrs. Scott will be safe and warm and dry in her home this winter. Your support is what makes this work possible. Help us to continue with Roof Repairs. to perform Home Mobility Modifications, and allow us to keep operations moving ahead. A profound thank you to the donors and sponsors who helped us kick off our Keep Oakland Covered campaign. You can take us over the finish line and help as many neighbors in need as possible. Let's Keep Oakland Covered!
