Help Oakland Family Services fill our GivingGrid this Giving Tuesday!

Oakland Family Services is excited to announce the launch of our 2021 Giving Tuesday campaign, which invites you to make a donation to say “thank you” to someone who made an impact on your life.

Giving Tuesday is coming up on Nov. 30. Our goal is to raise $5,000 through GivingGrid.com to support our prevention, education and treatment programs as we close out the year.

To celebrate 100 years of Oakland Family Services building brighter futures, please donate in honor of someone who built a brighter future for you! Along with your donation, you have the option to share the name or a photo of the person you are honoring. Help us fill our GivingGrid with people who have made a difference, no matter how big or small, in the lives of others.

Make a tribute to a parent, grandparent or caregiver who helped you grow; a teacher who inspired you to be your very best; a mentor who helped guide you along; or a friend who has always been there. In turn, your donation will help Oakland Family Services build brighter futures for the children, families and individuals we serve.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving celebrated annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It is a chance to give back after the “shopping holidays” and an opportunity to come together with others to support your favorite causes and make a difference in your community.

A Giving Tuesday donation to Oakland Family Services will help support our continuum of programs that:

  • Educate and empower parents to understand their children's development and give them the best possible start in life.

  • Provide free preschool to children at risk of educational failure.

  • Give child care providers training that, in turn, supports the growth and development of the littlest members of our community.

  • Provide safe and loving homes for children in need through foster care and adoption.

  • Care for the mental health needs of children, teens and adults through caring, confidential, research-based treatment for depression, anxiety, family trauma and other concerns.

  • Provide outpatient treatment for substance use disorders to help individuals enter and remain in recovery.
