Food Programs

Emergency Food Program – Our food pantry or food bank provides emergency food for individuals and families.

We provide short term assistance with a two day supply of food for families and individuals, which is distributed Tuesdays through Fridays from 2:30 through 5:00 pm.

Call the Food Distribution Coordinator at (510) 785-FOOD(3663) for assistance.

Winter Warming Shelter

On cold and rainy nights, our winter warming shelter provides a place to sleep and a hot meal for adults who would otherwise be on the street. The winter warming shelter operates from December through April, and provides food and shelter for up to twenty-five adults per night.
