Why I Give to The Oakland REACH

Words from You!

Shoutout to our 530 (!!) individual donors this year - WOW, we are so grateful. Here’s what just a few of you had to say about why you give to The Oakland REACH:

“I just read the pod article in the SF Chronicle and I was inspired by the work your organization is doing to support youth in Oakland.  I am a childless resident of Oakland, and I am so proud to have great orgs like yours supporting our youth, especially in creative ways like the Virtual Hub, during this really hard time for low income parents. Thanks for all that you do!”

“Thanks for your leadership during this time and always. Oakland families are being uplifted because of you.”

“Thank you for the incredible work you do for those in the community who need it the most. Investing in our kids is investing in the future.”

“I was paid $50.00 for a photo I took during a Black Lives Matter march. I am donating it to Oakland Reach for the amazing work you are doing in providing opportunities for closing the equity gap for Oakland students.”

Because of You!

We want to thank you for supporting both our Holiday Relief Fund and Adopt-a-Family efforts. Because of your generosity, we distributed a total of $42,500 to over 200 families last week to make this holiday season brighter! We closed out the Holiday Relief Fund AND, due to popular demand from supporters like yourself, also created an Adopt-a-family effort to purchase gifts directly for families. We are thrilled to share that we will be fulfilling wish lists for 90 families!
