"Homelessness is a huge problem in East Bay neighborhoods," said Daniel Barth of SOS! Richmond. "We work towards moving people from their cars and tents into RVs and cabins. Funds donated will enable us to register and loan out RVs so that people can be safer on their pathway to housing."

For over 35 years, ROOF has been giving back to East Bay communities by donating to local nonprofits that might not receive significant funding from larger establishments. Since inception ROOF has distributed over $1.5 million across the East Bay, providing support to the unhoused, training for the unemployed, and educational resources to those in need, to name just a few.
