  • Dinner Donor Program

    HIGHEST NEED!
  • Consider involving your family, co-workers, club, or church group in donating a meal! 

    Dinner Donors purchase ingredients, prepare a healthy, well-balanced meal for 25 residents, and deliver it by 5pm on their scheduled day to either the San Leandro Shelter or Alameda Midway Shelter. Meals may be prepared at home, at a church, or at another facility.

    We appreciate kid-friendly, American-style meals, as many of our residents are young children (ages 0–10). Please provide generous, healthy portions for everyone. A balanced meal includes a protein-rich entrée (chicken, lasagna, chili, etc.), vegetables or salad, a starch (rice, potatoes, pasta, or bread), and juice or milk (no soda). Extra drinks are welcome, and dessert is optional. Please avoid meals consisting only of meat or vegetables, undercooked meat, or food that has not been properly refrigerated.
