Giving Back at Covenant House Oakland for Thanksgiving
During the week of Thanksgiving, we had the privilege of visiting Covenant House California in Oakland to serve meals to the young residents. Our experience was profoundly moving, as we witnessed firsthand the resilience and determination of these individuals striving to improve their lives. Their commitment to personal growth and self-betterment left a lasting impression on us.
Covenant House California (CHC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing sanctuary and support for youth aged 18 to 24 who are experiencing homelessness or have been victims of human trafficking. Their mission is to offer a safe haven where young people can access essential services and support systems to help them transition to independent living.
The dedication of the staff and the comprehensive nature of the programs at Covenant House California play a crucial role in empowering young people to overcome adversity and build brighter futures. Our time spent with the youth at the Oakland facility was a testament to the positive impact that CHC has on the lives of those they serve.
Biweekly Clothing Drives on Every Second and Fourth Sunday!
We were thrilled to share news about the Sullivan Community Space Clothing Drive in collaboration with SNE Cares, which took place every second and fourth Sunday of the month. This initiative provided a fantastic opportunity for our community to make a positive impact.
Community members decluttered their closets by gathering gently used clothes ready for a new home. Visitors explored a diverse selection of donated clothing at Sullivan Community Space—many even discovered a new favorite outfit while making a difference.
This biweekly event, held every second and fourth Sunday, wasn’t just about donating clothes; it fostered a sense of togetherness and support within our community.
Thank you to everyone who stayed connected with us on social media and supported this effort. Together, we created a more caring and compassionate community—proving that fashion can truly be a force for good.
For those who participated and donated, thank you for making it all possible.

Learn more about the Martial Arts program at the Sullivan Community Center. below.
Over the past decade, we at GGPM have been active and investing in the West Oakland community. Being involved and giving back to the community are core to our principles. In line with this philosophy, we are excited to offer a new space for the community to use.
Our mission for the Sullivan Community Space is to serve the West Oakland community – especially local youth – by providing a facility to gather, exercise, and develop life skills. The initial focus of the Space is to bring martial arts to the kids of West Oakland. Martial arts training has been shown to benefit health and fitness, self-confidence, conflict resolution, focus and discipline. Our goal is that the Space will provide a safe environment for members of the community to grow, develop life skills, and have fun.
Other local programs that have become part of the SC Space family include:
-
The Hatch Community
-
Prescott Neighborhood Council
-
Returned Citizen
