Donate to Oakland Catholic Worker
Every day at the Oakland Catholic Worker (OCW), we create welcome, hope and opportunity with the immigrant community, many who come to us with only the clothes that they are wearing.
We provide these immigrant families with urgently needed transitional housing, a large food security program, comprehensive social services, legal, psychological and basic literacy support.
Your generous contribution is critically needed now more than ever.
