Abundant Blessings East Bay
Over the past 10 years, Abundant Blessings (formerly known as The Hood Samaritans) has provided water, food, inspirational magazines and literature, as well as environmental response supplies to the growing population of Homeless Individuals in Oakland, California and the surrounding areas.
This collaborative effort currently provides over 100,000 pounds of food & supplies annually to the Greater Oakland / East Bay Area.
Our Goal
Our continued goal is to provide consistent, reliable resources to our communities and maintain our presence as a stable and reliable resource provider for the un-housed. Our desire is for those we serve to feel and know that their needs matter, and that they are seen, heard, and supported by the greater community.
It is important that we breathe life into the belief that all community members deserve to have access to consistent, reliable, life-sustaining resources.
Who We Serve
Currently, we serve over 12 Homeless Encampments. Our reach includes, but is not limited to: Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville, and San Leandro.
These encampments include single men, women, young children, and young adults. Though there are many paths to homelessness, the populations we serve are specific to those who have no available family ties, are below the poverty line, suffer from mental health issues, and those who have recently been released from incarceration.
