Town Bizness
Organized volunteers providing outreach to unhoused folks with urgent relief: warmth, food, humanity, and connection to services.
Town Bizness exists to bring the necessities of a dignified human life to the unhoused population of Oakland and Berkeley, CA.
These necessities include good food, reliable shelter, clothing, toiletries, bedding, and basic creature comforts such as safe propane stoves and heaters, radios, and more, depending on each client’s needs.
We also assist with housing, and keeping folks connected to service providers by supplying telephones and monthly service.
The majority of folks we serve were born where they now live in tents, and once had property ownership in their families here in the bay area, but no longer do. Most are seniors, and many of them are now sick and/or disabled.

FRESH MEALS FOR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS
For just $10/month you can provide two meals cooked fresh and delivered hot the same day to an unhoused neighbors in Oakland-- folks we know by name. $25/month = 5 meals. $50/month = 10 meals! We strive to bring food security to the folks we have relationships with and are working with to secure housing. Not only is it inhumane and immoral, but no one can work on housing when they're hungry, and the constant sweeps are worsening this problem. Its also nearly impossible to stay warm if you haven't eaten. Please help us keep folks resilient, alive, and warm.
