Helpberkeley Inc

HB.Org": In 2024, HelpBerkeley provided food assistance information to more than 1,500 clients. HelpBerkeley worked with partner organizations, including the City of Berkeley, several congregations, several non-profits, and some for-profit corporations, to identify sources of free meals and groceries, and make them more accessible to seniors, mobility-restricted people, and, in general, those in need. HelpBerkeley periodically disseminated food source information to its 1,500+ clients. For some clients whose needs are acute (there were more than 30 in 2024), HelpBerkeley directly helped the clients obtain case working assistance from other case working programs, care coordinators, and community workers; become members of other food programs; and obtain food from other sources. HelpBerkeley worked with clients directly through phone calls. HelpBerkeley worked throughout the year with other organizations to create new sources of meals for those who need them.

Support for Cost Efficient Charities: The Board agreed in December 2024 that we would start a new program to support other cost efficient charities in Berkeley as deemed necessary and which are consistent with our Mission, possibly for a small administrative fee. There were no program costs or results for 2024.
