St. Mary’s Center is a community of hope, healing and justice dedicated to improving the well-being of Seniors and Preschool Families in West Oakland by meeting basic needs for food, housing, and social connection. We build on a strong foundation of direct service provision and participant‑led advocacy that amplifies the voices of people directly impacted by hunger, homelessness, and inequity to create a more just and caring society.

Today, our staff of 39 provides Senior Homeless and Housing Services, including case management and housing clinics; transitional housing at multiple sites; and a vibrant Community Center offering hot meals, social connection, and leadership development.
