Get Involved


Because Real Change Takes All of Us

At Hands for Life Lake Merritt, we believe wellness isn’t something delivered to a community, it’s something built with it. Every mobile unit, wellness program, and community clinic we run is powered by people like you — volunteers, advocates, partners, and supporters who want to see lasting health equity in Oakland.

Getting involved means more than donating time or money, it means joining a movement that’s reshaping how wellness happens in our city. Whether you have professional skills, lived experience, or just a passion for helping people, there’s a place for you here.

Together, we can build permanent, community-led wellness infrastructure , one conversation, one clinic, one block at a time.

💪 Volunteer. Donate. Partner.
Your involvement is how we turn ideas into action and action into transformation.
