"Together, We Can Heal Our Community"

At Roots Community Health Center, our donors are more than supporters; they are changemakers. Your generosity through GlobalGiving continues to be a lifeline for East Oakland, fueling health, healing, and hope where it’s needed most.

Our vision for the Roots Youth Wellness Center is taking shape a safe, empowering space where young people can access mental health support, mentorship, and medical care designed for their unique needs.

With the support our:

• Families facing barriers to care are now receiving culturally responsive medical services that respect their lived experiences.
  
  
• Street Outreach Teams have expanded, connecting with more unhoused neighbors and linking them to housing and health resources.
  
  
• Youth and families affected by trauma are accessing holistic mental wellness services.
  
  
• Community Health Workers are equipped with new tools and training to advocate for wellness and equity within their neighborhoods.
  
  

These milestones represent real transformation families stabilized, confidence restored, and futures rebuilt.

A story that continues to inspire our community was the groundbreaking of the Youth Wellness Center. This center represents more than the start of construction it symbolizes a movement toward empowerment. The future center will offer workforce readiness programs, mentorship opportunities, and wellness resources that help youth move from surviving to thriving.

Donors’ contributions have been life changing in a city where many young people face daily challenges but continue to persevere through community strength and dedication. The momentum from the groundbreaking has already generated new interest and commitments from additional donors who believe deeply in investing in Oakland’s youth.

Every donor has a unique reason for giving. Through GlobalGiving, we’ve built a space where your values whether it's improving access to healthcare, supporting youth, or reducing homelessness are reflected in real, measurable outcomes. As we move forward, we remain deeply grateful for your commitment to health equity and our mission at Roots.
