Donate Goods
BOSS helps our unhoused neighbors find and keep permanent housing so that they can stay housed and stable by providing affordable housing options that include both emergency shelter and supported independent living.
Your donations help set them up for success as they move into their new homes. We are currently in need of bath, bedding, and beyond.
​
Please contact Gwen Austin, Community Engagement Manager - gaustin@self-sufficiency.org or 510-649-1930 x 1001 to assist with your donations.
