to our most at risk, and should be celebrated and appreciated."

COVID-19 UPDATE September 30, 2021

In compliance with Alameda County Health Officer Orders, St. Mary’s Center is operating under strict protocols to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Guests, participants, volunteers and staff will need to show proof of vaccination to enter facilities. See specifics in attached policy.

  • Sunday Dinners are re-opening as “Sunday Picnic” outdoors. Email volunteers@stmaryscenter.org for more info.
  • Community Center will re-open in October on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting at 11am. Ask about membership and how to register. Call (510) 923-9600 x 297.
  • Transitional Housing is operating under shelter-in-place orders. Case managers are seeing clients by telehealth appointment.
  • Friendly Manor is open as transitional housing but the Drop-In Center is closed.
  • Emergency Winter Services will be provided through a Mobile Unit, serving unhoused Seniors in local encampments.
  • Preschool is open for full day childcare. Call (510) 595-4030 to enroll your three or four year old child.
The pandemic hits us hard because everything St. Mary’s Center does is based on bringing people together. Please get your shots, wear your mask, wash your hands, and observe safe distances and practices. We can’t wait to be together again!
