Thank you, Blue Heart, for showing up for us!

This month, Blue Heart chose Self Help Hunger Program as their Grantee of the Month, and we are so grateful. Their member donations are going straight to keeping our doors open at a critical time.

Our past funding fell away, and a new grant doesn't arrive until December. That three-month gap pays for our one employee, our one van, and our Tuesday through Friday meals for hundreds of people every week, plus our third-Sunday giveaway of fresh produce and hot meals.

Join us Sunday, October 18, 12 to 4 PM, at the Chapel of the Flowers. Volunteer with Blue Heart members at our food giveaway. RSVP to Anna at [email protected].

A pantry that feeds hundreds of people, four days a week, doesn't run on hope alone. Self Help Hunger Program has shown up for this community for over a decade — now we're asking our community to show up for us, just until December. Whatever you can give keeps the doors open:

Hundreds of people. Four days a week. That's what SHHP's pantry means to this neighborhood — plus a hot meal every Tuesday in the park. We're not asking because we want to, we're asking because the need is real and the gap is real. Help us bridge it until our December grant comes through:

Four days a week, Self Help Hunger Program's pantry doors are open — feeding hundreds of our Oakland neighbors every week, on top of our Tuesday meal service in the park. That's the work our community counts on, and right now we're bridging a funding gap to keep it going through December. If you can give anything, it goes straight to keeping those doors open:

We need your help. SHHP is bridging a 3-month funding gap before our December grant lands — and we're asking our community to help us raise $39,000 to keep four-days-a-week food distribution, mobile healthcare, and organizing work going without interruption. Every dollar counts. https://gofund.me/aa0440e61
