The HOMIES Ville Christmas Toy Drive was a great success thanks to you! We wanna say thank you to all of the folks in our community that came out to pick up some toys for the children for free. Special shout out goes out to all the organizations and individuals that helped us gather over 3000 toys, donated, opened their hearts, their pockets and gave resources to the organizations that came together to make this happen for the youth of Oakland. 

We want to wish you all happy holidays, and a happy and healthy new year! We look forward to stand in solidarity with you all when we return after our sabbatical in January. We also wish our team a healthy and well-deserved rest and rejuvenation.
​
Blessings to you and your loved ones.

It was an exciting and fun day on October 22nd, 2022 from 11-4pm! We invited community for a FREE event! We asked folks to come through for some FREE pumpkins, face painting, jumpers, food and music. At FREEdom Farm 10451 MacArthur Boulevard in East Oakland!

Special thanks to our staff and team for putting together a fun event for our community in East Oakland. Here is a collection of pictures and images from our team that documented the amazing and fun event for families in East Oakland. 

HOMIES Empowerment staff take annual learning journeys to help broaden our lens on solidarity and support and be allies to our communities across differences. In 2021, HE took a trip to El Salvador and Guatemala. We met some amazing leaders and mentors as we experienced the land and the indigenous peoples. Here are some of the photos of that trip. Enjoy. 

An amazing day for building planter-boxes for the Freedom Farm Garden!
​Thanks to our community for coming out, for our partners for their guidance and support and the land and soil for taking in our presence!
