Our Dining Room Tables Need A Makeover
The last time SVdP purchased new dining tables for the Dining Room was in 1976, the year it opened. We need a total of $20,000 for 16 new tables. Our Development Department has raised $8,000 so far. Give a gift today of any amount toward our goal of brand-new tables for our clients.
Thank You for Helping Us to Go Solar!
Thanks to our donors and to Solar Mosaic, we now have solar panels on the roof of the Free Dining Room at our Downtown Oakland Community Center. This will help us reduce our utlity costs, while supporting local green jobs.
