Grateful Gatherings is based in Oakland, CA and serving the San Francisco Bay Area whose mission is to improve lives by providing new and gently used furniture and household goods to low-income families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness, crisis, and poverty. We believe that if families have a safe, comfortable, and equipped home that they will have a greater chance of success outside the home. This is a service the shelters and other social service agencies cannot provide to their clients. Once the clients are placed into a home or apartment, they have little to nothing, not even a bed to sleep in. That is where we come in.
