Support Us!

A vast majority comes from donations from our community. Whether it’s $5 or $1,000 – no contribution is too small or too much. Since the Village in Oakland is powered 100% by volunteers, every dollar you contribute goes towards providing services and programs for our people living on the streets. No donations are used for salaries. 

For over all general support: 

Please donate directly to our PayPal. If there is specific program or service you would like your contribution to go towards please indicate that in a message you send with your donation.
