Donate Your Car
Did you know you can donate your automobile, truck, pickup, recreational vehicle, motorcycle, boat with trailer, and/or airplane and we'll auction it off and collect the proceeds for our programs? We've partnered with Volunteers of America who will arrange a pick-up, handle the paperwork and coordinate the auction. Call them at 510-567-1114 and let them know you'd like to make a donation for Dolores Street Community Services.

Dolores Street is closely watching policy and legislative changes at

constituencies. We are committed to joining the voices of millions in
the country calling for just immigration reform, resources to fight
homelessness and treat people suffering from HIV/AIDS.
You can support Dolores Street by
