Each year, there are thousands of children in Oakland and surrounding areas in the East Bay who will not receive gifts for Christmas, without the generosity of people who care. At CityTeam, we want to help. This year, we plan to distribute presents for over 3,000 children. Thank you for considering helping to ensure we can provide for all the kids.
Families in need are struggling and are grateful for the help and holiday hope.
