Robert Allen Mercy House provides wholesome, nutritious food to unemployed, underemployed, and homeless residents of Alameda County. Located in a former corner grocery store we serve our community five days a week, Monday - Friday.

School Street Center strives to elevate the academic competency of the children in our community by providing homework help, tutoring, and mentoring. School Street Center provides young people a safe place in their community to connect with caring adults, strengthen their family relationships and improve their overall skills, academically, socially and physically.
We are seeking funding for a quality, results-oriented, after school program with an emphasis in reading and math, for students in 2nd-5th grade. We serve up to 75 low-income inner-city children providing a safe, nurturing, educational environment. The program provides tutorial and homework assistance, recreation, enrichment activities and character development, in coordination with Oakland Unified School District curriculum.
