Last Day!

We're down to the final hours of our campaign for the Ylê Asé de Yansa in Brazil. We need to get laptops to these children so they can learn! This particular quilombo is Sao Paulo has been greatly effected by COVID-19 and without in-class sessions, these children are not able to continue their education properly. Please donate if you can and share so we can get laptops to these children!

We have raised $305 of the $3,000 we're asking for this trip we're taking to deliver laptops and physically help rebuild their community building so that the children have a safe space to learn. A *big* THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far and helped to spread the word! See a special message from our founder on our Instagram or Facebook page!

We're back!

• Volunteers are needed at the library from 10am-11:30am to help pack bags and setup to handout food.

Hygiene Fundraiser

The Bay Area Street Pantry has its Holiday Hygiene Fundraiser going on now! We are trying to raise $3,000 to help give hygiene products to the community of Oakland, CA. As you read above, we give free grocery bags every week filled with food, but we are often asked by the community for items like soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc. that we can't give regularly. Please, help if you can! The GoFundMe campaign is live now! You can also donate directly on our site to us and just choose the program you'd like to donate to!
