Igniting Hope. Restoring Lives. Cityteam compassionately cares for the poor, addicted and homeless while reaching out to violence-ridden communities in Oakland.

We provide shelter to 55 men nightly, hot meals to over 200 daily, emergency food to 300 families weekly, medical screenings for the community weekly, and a year long, residential recovery program for up to 30 men. We reach out to over 500 families in the community with holiday resources to help single mom’s and struggling families to close the poverty gap while leveraging these relationships towards community-building movements that lead towards inner-peace empowering a safer city for all.
