We couldn’t be more grateful.

The holidays can be a time of stress and worry. Imagine facing the holidays while experiencing homelessness or domestic violence. Because of donors’ generosity, every single person Building Futures serves received a holiday gift. And every child and adult at our shelters received a set of cozy jammies, too. From babies to elders, the smiles said it all.

Building Futures is grateful for the businesses, clubs, and faith groups who participated in our holiday gift drive. We also send thanks to the hundreds of individuals who donated gifts, money, or toward Move-In Kits for families. Our community supports us, and we can feel it in very tangible ways. The smile on a gift recipient’s face is a present unto itself.

Even when times are tough, the holidays can be a time of magic!

Wishing you joy this holiday season! ... See MoreSee Less

“The San Leandro Shelter uplifted us. We are so grateful that you took my call.” - Steph, a newly-housed mother of two toddlers

Especially during these winter months, I’m grateful to you for doing something real to connect your Alameda County neighbors to safe and stable futures. We really do need you!

For 35 years, Building Futures has built a strong array of services to give moms like Steph a new start for themselves and their children. Last year, we responded to 5,382 calls requesting shelter, housing and domestic violence services.

Today, we need your help! Building Futures’ shelters, domestic violence services, and housing program change lives. But we can only keep doing so with the help of caring neighbors like you.

Thank you for sending your generous, tax-deductible gift today.

Last year, 254 Alameda County residents called one of our shelters home. Half of them were children. No child deserves to be homeless or to witness family violence.

When you make a gift to Building Futures, you’re not only supporting programs and services for your neighbors who have endured homelessness and domestic violence. And you’re not just making a tax-deductible donation. You are changing futures for the better. Our children’s program provides developmental assessments, health resources, fun and therapeutic activities, and school advocacy. Our staff members deliver these services with warmth and care. They deserve nothing less.

But we can’t do it without you. Will you send your special year-end gift now, while you’re thinking about it? You’ll be boosting a child’s future.
