Here, Faith and Love are verbs and we are here when you need us

When you need someone to listen or hold space in silent contemplation, know that we can join you. We are available to stop in for a visit or bring a bag of groceries. When a new life is welcomed into the world or a beloved one is departing the physical realm, we will be with you to offer love, compassion, and care. At Heart & Soul, this is how we Love.

When our communities in Oakland and the greater Bay Area are facing challenges, we respond. We have packed blessing bags and distributed them to the unhoused. We have collected clothes and toys and gifted them to families impacted by incarceration. We have collected food for the Alameda County Food Bank. We have even gone out into the community and given Heart & Soul hugs because that’s the way we love.

If you’re in need of care or have a project in the community you’d like us to support, contact us.

Prayer & Care Leadership

The coordination, facilitation and leadership of our Prayer & Care Village is held by three members of Heart & Soul Center of Light.
