People of the Book Emergency Donation Drive

Many families in our OUSD community are hurting desperately because of job losses and school closures due to COVID-19 . Although students (all children ages 0-18) can pick up meals for the week (15 per week) at various Food Bank locations, many parents are now without any income at all and unable to pay bills.

Besides donating to the Alameda County Community Food Bank, you can direct desperately needed funds specifically to a few of our Literacy Project’s partner schools in the following ways:

International Community School: Funds donated through this Oakland Public Education Fund website go directly to ICS. Click here to donate.

Greenleaf K-8: Donate to Greenleaf families through the Oakland Public Education Fund. Please write “Direct Relief” in the “Leave a comment” box. Click here to donate. This fund gets money directly to school families and will remain active throughout the COVID crisis (100% tax deductible). Thank you!
