Turning Point Furnishings

September 20, 2017, 3:36 pm

Turning Point, our temporary housing program for homeless young adults in Berkeley, would like some new furniture and supplies.

The program has three primary spaces that could use some updates:

1. The Living Room: This space could use some comfortable chairs and an area rug.
2. Red Room: This room is used as a creative crafting space and as a meeting room. We would love to accept your new donations of: decorations; frames; a new TV; and/or art supplies, such as paint, paintbrushes, and canvases.
3. Life Skills Room: This area is used during workshops and trainings for participants of the program. The Life Skills Room could use your new donations of: a new table; an area rug; decor; and/or furniture for art and workshop storage.

Turning Point is a temporary, transitional housing program located in Berkeley, CA. The goal of the program is to assist homeless youth, ages 18-25, to obtain and maintain independent permanent housing. The program houses 18 beds and provides meals, mental health service, and vocational assistance for its young adult participants.

Some examples of past Corporate Volunteering:

Abbott contacted us to see what sorts of in-kind donations our participants might need. They ordered the supplies and brought together employees to put these supply bags together at their offices for homeless young adults.

Gilead Sciences planned out a large volunteer day at our Coolidge Ave Oakland Campus. They trucked in 100 employees to complete lots of yard work and other maintenance tasks during their half-day visit.

Lockton volunteers helped us prep a play yard under construction for one of our on-site programs at our Coolidge Ave Oakland Campus. They assembled play structures & helped with general yard maintenance, painting, and clean up.
