Donate

Each year, we serve about 30,000 East Bay neighbors. Our programs benefit people of all ages and at all stages of life. Your gift can be designated to something you care about, like heating assistance or meals for the elderly.

Any contribution, big or small, helps. We’ve had farmers deliver fresh produce for our food pantry. We’ve had donors buy new medical equipment for our offices. We’ve even had playgrounds constructed for programs like Head Start!

Ways You Can Give:

We will work with you to make the most of your donation to benefit those that need it most. Let us help you make a positive impact in your community! 

When you give online you have the option to contribute a “one-time gift,” or to be a sustaining giver.  As a sustainer, you would enter the amount you’d like to give and, as the frequency, choose from annually (once every 12 months), semi-annually (once every 6 months), quarterly (once every 3 months), monthly (once a month), or weekly.  When making your donation online you can also designate your gift to a specific program or service, or select “other, wherever it is needed most.”

  • Make a secure ONLINE DONATION using your Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card
