Our Impact

Community Engagement

In addition to our building and remodeling projects, HomeAid reaches out to meet the immediate needs of Northern California families and individuals experiencing homeless and the organizations that assist them. Every year we complete several events.

2023 Essentials Drive

The Essentials Drive is a yearly drive to collect “essential” baby items in great need by families with young children experiencing homelessness. Since 2001, HomeAid has collected more than 1.7 million items and distributed them to more than 30 local nonprofit organizations serving the metro area. Businesses, community organizations, and individuals are invited to participate in the Essentials Drive by hosting a collection site or donating items like diapers, baby food and baby wipes.

Over 3,500 toys were collected and over $2,000 worth of gift cards.

HomeAid Care Days

Through hands-on opportunities, volunteers come together to support the work of our network of community nonprofit partners. Volunteers work with HomeAid to assist with housing/shelter improvement projects such as landscape renewal, interior/exterior clean-up, painting and light construction work.
