Your Donations Bring Warmth to the Unsheltered

The Kehilla Homeless Action Committee continues to collect clothing and other essentials for distribution to our unsheltered neighbors, especially at the Wood Street Commons 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:

The next Donation Drop-Off Date at Kehilla will be third Sunday of the September (September 18th) , 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.

Due to recent encampment fires, we need both men’s and women’s clothing.  Please, no children’s clothes. No sheets, no fancy pillows or bedding.

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

Thank you for your amazing support!
