Do you accept donations other than cash?
In addition to contributions of time or money, you can make an in-kind donation of household goods, food or other items on our Wish List. Sorry, we don't have enough storage space to accept donations of clothes.
What are Abode Services' greatest needs?
We benefit from having contributions for general support. These donations give us the flexibility to put funds where they are needed most. One exception is the Winter Relief Program, which provides shelter in church halls, case management and supportive services during the colder months for families on the waiting list for Sunrise Village shelter. The more money we raise, more families can benefit from the program. If you are interested in supporting Winter Relief, please call Carol Arata, Development Director at (510) 657-7409, ext. 203 or carata@abodeservices.org.
Who funds Abode's programs?
We receive funding from a variety of sources including government agencies, private and community foundations, corporations, churches, service and business groups and individuals.
Do clients pay for services?
No, all services are provided to clients free of charge. Rental housing for clients is subsidized with families and individuals paying up to one third or more of their rent.
