Community Human Services

Fresh paint, new updates, and a whole lot of teamwork!

Today, volunteers from National Health Corps helped give the inside of the CHS Oakland Food Pantry a fresh new look, creating a more warm and welcoming space for the individuals and families we serve.

Thank you to our volunteers for all of their hard work and care. The pantry is looking beautiful, and we couldn't have done it without you! Stay tuned for the grand reveal!

One week in, and we've already filled our first collection box!

We're so grateful for the incredible response to Closets to Community, our summer clothing drive, so far! Seeing our community come together to support our neighbors in need has been wonderful, and we're just getting started.

As a reminder, we're collecting new and gently used clothing to help provide clean, comfortable, and seasonally appropriate essentials to individuals staying in CHS shelter programs and residents of Wood Street Commons.

Help us keep the momentum going! If you're interested in hosting a collection box or dropping off donations, visit our website or email us at [email protected].

Introducing Closets to Community, a new summer clothing drive supporting participants in CHS shelter programs and the residents of Wood Street Commons.

This summer, we’ll be collecting new and gently used clothing items to help provide community members with clean, comfortable, and seasonally appropriate essentials.

While homelessness is often discussed most during the colder months, the need for support and everyday necessities continues year-round.
