Your Donations Bring Warmth to the Unsheltered

The Kehilla Homeless Action Committee continues to collect clothing, tents, and other essentials for distribution to our unsheltered neighbors, especially at the Wood Street encampment in West Oakland.  Hear from some residents of Wood Street about one minute into this video documentary.  You can help:

• Donate to the Homeless Depot at Kehilla (see below).
• Volunteer to help with donation sorting or distribution.
• Make a 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.

Donations to the Homeless Depot at Kehilla:

Donation Drop-Off Dates at Kehilla are the first Tuesday and third Sunday of the month, 10:15 AM to 12:15 PM.

All items donated should be CLEAN and in good condition / new or gently-used / something that you would use yourself.

Please, no dress clothes, no open-toe shoes or shoes with heels (just flat shoes).  No children’s clothes. No sheets, no fancy pillows or bedding.  At this time, women’s clothes are NOT needed.

We have a special request from some residents at the Wood Street encampment for basic garden tools such as shovels, rakes, trowels, etc.

Please do not bring any items not on this list without prior approval from the Homeless Action Committee.

Thank you for your amazing support!
