HIV Education & Prevention Project of Alameda County

We are West Oakland Punks with Lunch (Website) . We are a volunteer run, participant centered outreach and training organization primarily working with people who use drugs and unhoused folks. We are asking for donations for the next year 2022!

We have been in operation since 2015 and look forward to another year providing services to our program participants.

Since 2020, we have expanded our outreach to provide services to two more locations and have now added various more supplies (including hygiene supplies like bath wipes, razors, shaving cream, etc, food pantry, absorbent underwear, Ensure shakes, etc). We have been so lucky to have used our funds you all helped us raise to provide more supplies to people!

In order to continue our work, we can always use donations from people like you -- whether it is $1 or $2000, every little bit counts!
