Our specialty is training low/no-income Californians in the skills needed to start a career in the food industry and land their first good job. Since 2000, we have supported more than 2,000 residents of the Oakland/ San Francisco Bay Area to remove barriers to employment, skill-up, and get hired.

Helping and healing for the Bay Area's homeless. We start with the basic essentials of homeless services: a meal, a clean bed, warm clothing and any other critical care they need to begin recovering from homelessness, addiction and poverty. Once their basic needs are met, we focus on their long-term recovery. Our Life Transformation programs give men and women the practical tools and training, and spiritual guidance, to overcome their struggles for a stable, independent tomorrow.
