The holiday season is upon us and St. Mary's Center is preparing to provide cheer to as many as 200 seniors. Please consider making a holiday gift to St. Mary’s Center and support our efforts to provide vital services to homeless and housing insecure Seniors. A donation of $100 will help support special holiday dinners for SMC Seniors like Bennie.
Watch the video below to hear more about SMC Senior Bennie and his journey out of homelessness. With the help of Berkeley Community Media, we interviewed eight Seniors to document their inspirational journeys out of homelessness. Stay tuned for more moving testimonials from our Seniors.
November 20 is Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). TDOR is an annual observance that honors the memory of transgender individuals whose lives have been lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. The week leading up to TDOR is Transgender Awareness Week. This week is an opportunity to spotlight issues that transgender people face and advocate for positive change.
According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, 1 in 5 transgender people are discriminated against when seeking housing because of their gender identity. Every human being deserves a safe place to call home. That's why St. Mary’s Center is dedicated to amplifying the voices of people directly impacted by hunger, homelessness, and inequity.
