Street Outreach Program
Free meals delivered to encampments
What To Expect
Our Street Outreach team visits homeless encampments to deliver freshly prepared meals and “ready-to-eat” breakfast and snack items that do not require kitchen equipment.
If you are experiencing homelessness and are in need of services, please contact christi@openheartkitchen.org
Or, visit our Community Meal Program at Vineyard Resource Center (450 N Livermore Ave) Monday - Friday from 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.
Why We Serve
Ready-made food is particularly important for homeless and precariously housed individuals who do not have access to a kitchen. People experiencing homelessness are not able to fully utilize other food services since they are unable to store and/or refrigerate food.
Open Heart Kitchen began its Street Outreach Program in 2017 when two team members, Gary and Steve, wanted to find a way to better connect with and support clients who were experiencing homelessness. With the knowledge that some people experiencing homelessness can't reliably get to a lunch service location these two team members decided to bring our meals into local encampments. OHK has connections to other service providers to ensure that our clients are connected to other resources available from CityServe, Tri-Valley Haven, Axis Community Health, and more.
