A renewed call for donations to aid the unhoused community

The political climate remains unfriendly to the unhoused. Oakland continues to enforce its Encampment Management Policy with recent sweeps of encampments at Mosswood Park and near the High Street Home Depot. Meanwhile, Caltrans removed a large encampment in Berkeley, and continues to threaten encampments in West Oakland, despite a recent multimillion dollar settlement for destruction of personal property.
The Kehilla Homeless Action Committee continues to collect clothing, tents, and other essentials for distribution to our unsheltered neighbors, especially at the Cobb on Wood Street encampment. You can help!
- Support the Homeless Depot at Kehilla (see below).
- Join with your friends and family to make a monthly donation to Love and Justice in the Streets. We’d love to know about your donation, so please follow up with a message to the Homeless Action Committee.
