Illuminate Hope in Others

The Need in the Bay Area

The Bay Area is facing a growing homelessness crisis. According to the latest point-in-time count, over 38,000 people experience homelessness across the nine-county region on any given night. In our local community, thousands of individuals and families struggle to find safe shelter, nutritious meals, and the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Your support through the Season of Light campaign directly addresses this urgent need, providing critical services that can transform lives and restore hope

Meet Phillip

After a workplace injury left him chronically homeless and living in an RV, he found hope at WeHOPE at Berryessa, our RV Safe Parking program in San Jose, CA. In just four months, with dedicated case management and housing resources, Phillip secured his own apartment and got the healthcare he and his dog needed.

Today, he's thriving. "I would do anything for this place, look at what you all have done for me!"

This Season of Light, your gift can illuminate hope and help us bring this same transformation to more lives.
