At Roots, we often say that our donors are not just contributors—they are changemakers. Your platform to receive gifts is a perfect example of how collective generosity fuels transformation in our community.
Because of you, we’ve been able to...
Provide culturally responsive medical care to families who have historically been underserved.
Expand our Street Outreach teams to reach unhoused individuals in East Oakland.
Offer mental health and wellness services to youth and families navigating trauma.
Equip community health workers with essential tools to advocate for neighborhood wellness.
And this is just the beginning.
One story that stands out comes from a single mother we served who had lost hope after being denied care due to her insurance status. Thanks to donor-funded programs, she received urgent medical care, mental health support, and housing resources—all in one place. Today, she’s thriving, working full-time, and attending parenting classes. Your support helped make that happen.
We know that every donor has a unique reason for giving. Through the GlobalGiving platform, we connected with our donors' interests in improving health access, empowering youth, and addressing homelessness. Because of GlobalGiving we are able to provide a resource for our donors to stay true to their commitment to health equity and Roots mission. And as we look to the future, we look forward to staying on this journey.
