Town Nights 06/16/23

Another year of an Amazing TOWN NIGHTS. Community being able to come together and be able to get free prizes, food, and play carnival games. This beautiful event took part in Arroyo Viejo Park in Oakland. Our next two events are this Friday, June 30 and July 14. We hope to see you there!

We had over 355 people in attendance. We gave out 300 burritos. Our burritos ran out in 75 minutes. We are thankful for all the blessings we had through this event and want to say thank you to all the community that came out to TOWN NIGHTS.

Thank you to everyone that took part in the event and everyone that stayed after the event to help clean up. A huge thank you to Lila Duran for coordinating this event. Overall thank you to all our volunteers, staff, East Oakland Collective, Amigo Ayuda A Tu Amigo, Department of Violence Prevention, La Familia, and everyone who took part in making this event a success.

A few words that was shared from people's experiences from TOWN NIGHTS are:
Dr.Cesar Cruz: "It was really amazing to see people of all ages enjoying themselves. So empowering to see African Americans, Latinos and neighbors from East Oakland having a great time, together, we only had 300 meals and we gave those out in an hour. Close to 500 people came out and just had a good time together, that is a huge deal for us in our community. What a blessing!"

Lila Duran: "It was a stressful day, with everything happening behind the scenes. But seeing the kids smile and having a good time made it all worth it. Appreciate the LOVE the community showed Homies Empowerment, and each other."
