The East Oakland Collective

Rest in power to our dear friend and colleague Sheria Joseph. Sheria was a longtime volunteer with EOC and last year officially joined staff in the food & supply distribution program. She had an amazing kind, giving and quiet spirit. She had genuine heart for the work and the people. She will truly be missed by all and we will strive every day to keep her memory alive. Can support the family here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/sheria-joseph-funeral-fund

We are grateful that (formerly unhoused) mama Tanara @1989theebook now has housing. Thank you to all that supported Tanara through her birthing experience and now the funds have also landed her an apartment paid through next year. Thank you community for donating funds to make sure this mama and family no longer had to live in their car in the streets of East Oakland. Tanara, son and baby girl are doing well. Tanara is job hunting in her new hometown. If you want to support this family further, they need furniture (currently sleeping on the apartment floor). Cash app Tanara directly $Y8hweh
