Photos of our neighbors who came out today and supported the Midway Shelter!
Because now more than ever, we come together to be in community. The 2025 Alameda 4th of July 5K RACE was a success, with a portion of each runner registration going to help fund every day expenses for Midway 24/7/365!
The shelter provides 25 beds for women and children without homes. The Alameda Homeless Network (midwayshelter.org) raises funds to keep the shelter going strong, all year long. Building Futures operates the shelter, providing beds, food, case management, and much more. Community support brings new beginnings to women and children in Alameda!

Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.
Since 1865, Juneteenth has been celebrated annually on June 19th in various parts of the United States. After gaining their freedom, former enslaved African Americans and their descendants would travel to Galveston, TX annually in honor of Juneteenth. That tradition soon spread to other states, but it wasn't uncommon for white people to bar African Americans from celebrating in public spaces, forcing them to get creative. According to the Houston Parks and Recreation Department, Black community leaders in Houston saved $1,000 to purchase land in 1872 that would be devoted specifically to Juneteenth celebrations. That land became Emancipation Park, a name that it still bears. Juneteenth celebrations often involved helping newly freed Black folks learn about their voting rights.
