Lend A Hand Foundation was so happy to provide a fun day of activities to children and families in our community. It filled our hearts to see the children in our group smiling, and enjoying their day in the park!
Once again, thank you to @safeway for allowing us to provide lunch to the youth who joined us, and even a few we encountered along the way!

Today we celebrate not just your special day, but the incredible passion, dedication, and heart you bring to everything you do. Thank you for inspiring us daily and leading with such purpose. Wishing you a day filled with joy, love, and all the appreciation you so deeply deserve. 💐
Our Community Lunch Day in partnership with Safeway’s Nourishing Neighbors Program and Beebe Memorial Cathedral was a great way to kick off a Summer of Giving!! ☀️🥪🍊
One kind act, one small moment, or even one meal is enough to make a huge impact on the lives of those in need, and today we were able to provide HUNDREDS!
This is just the beginning, more joy, and more events coming soon!

🔔‼️ATTENTION SUPPORTERS‼️🔔
While our recent gala was a wonderful celebration of community leadership and unity, we unfortunately fell short of raising the funds needed for one of our most urgent priorities: providing essential school supplies for children in need!
3,000 students across the Bay Area were still waiting for the support they need to start the school year ready to learn‼
‼️Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve already raised 50% of our $60,000 goal to provide essential school supplies to those remaining 3,000 Bay Area students in need - but were not done yet‼️
If just 500 more people give $60, we can meet every remaining request for help from our local schools. 🏫🎒📚
Please consider making a gift today. Every dollar gets us closer. Every child deserves the chance to thrive.

The Lend A Hand Foundation Team had a wonderful time connecting with Oakland's youth at the 2024 OUSD Skilled Trades Fair at @cypressmandela.inc

We are incredibly grateful to Blaisdell for coming to our rescue. After we had already placed our order, we received additional requests from schools, and Blaisdell swiftly stepped in to ensure those needs were addressed.

We cannot thank them enough for their dedication and help.
We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to EOYDC, East Oakland Collectives (EOC), and the Oscar Grant Foundation for partnering with us to cover Castlemont and Greenleaf schools. It was wonderful to see such a generous giving of educational tools to our students. We cannot thank everyone enough for their dedication and support

We want to extend a HUGE thank you to Mike DelaCruz - CEO/Founder of Overdryve for his generous contribution towards our 25th Annual Stay-In-School Initiative.
He went above and beyond to address last-minute needs/requests, and we are incredibly grateful for his contribution!
Mike DelaCruz not only made a donation to cover backpack costs but also physically packed and delivered them to their designated High School.
We are extremely grateful!

WARM GREETINGS FROM LEND A HAND FOUNDATION!
As we proudly approach the 25th Anniversary of our Stay In School Project and Joy of Giving Initiative, we reflect on the milestones achieved since the inception of our educational supply drive in 1999. To date, we have successfully provided over 150,000 educational kits to students, and we serve hundreds of families annually through our Joy of Giving Initiative.
In honor of these significant milestones, our focus this year is to provide a minimum of 10,000 students attending Oakland/Alameda County schools with essential educational tools this fall. To achieve this ambitious goal, we are organizing a fundraiser to secure school supplies and ensure the continuation of our invaluable work.
This celebration will be hosted by our award-winning TV personalities Dave Clark and Roberta Gonzales. We are also featuring some very special musical guests, Dwayne Wiggins, Kev Choice Ensemble, and Ayo Brame, along with celebrity chef, Chef Rashad!
