The Oakland Catholic Worker organizes a Christmas gift program that provides presents to approximately 250 people in need, mostly children, each year. We need help taking applications for the program on September 29th.
Bilingual volunteers--especially those speaking Spanish, Mam, Chinese, Vietnamese, or Burmese--are the most helpful as not many families will speak English.
