2016 Davis Street Holiday Basket Program

November 8, 2016; San Leandro, California: Davis Street is excited to announce the beginning of our Holiday Basket Program. This year, you can support our holiday basket program in three ways: 1. Host a holiday bin and ask your community members/ staff/ consumers to donate new toys and canned goods (contact Katherine Aguirre, Development Manager at 510-347-4620 ext. 109 to request a bin) 2. Stop by our Davis Street Basic Needs Department (3081 Teagarden Street. San Leandro, CA 94577) and donate new toys or canned goods. 3. Make a monetary donation online at davisstreet.org or send your check to: Davis Street, 3081 Teagarden Street, San Leandro, CA 94577. Even the smallest gift helps us help others during this holiday season. We are extremely grateful for the support of our community over the last 25 years. We couldn’t do it without you!
