Why you should volunteer with us at our thrift stores
Every dollar of income from our thrift stores is spent to help Alameda County people in need. Our dining room serves 600 meals a day in downtown Oakland, our shelter provides a bed for up to 45 homeless neighbors each night , and our training programs provide job skills for those trying to find a way out of poverty. We have great stores, a community of eco-minded shoppers, and employees who enthusiastically love their work!
Additionally we serve needy neighbors in all areas of Alameda County by providing new beds, bedding, clothing, housewares all delivered by our truck located in Fremont and supported by your food and house ware donations. Come join us! Ways to get involved!
Our Volunteers can do a one time project or a longer term commitment on a weekly or monthly basis. Here's a look at some of our current goings on
