Harbor House Ministries is a non-profit Christian organization dedicated to helping children and their parents in the San Antonio district of West Oakland. The staff is professional, courteous, honest and helpful. Located like a beacon on a hill the Victorian era house is suited for this ministry, which has served over 100,000 people in spiritual, economic, and educational development over the past 40 years.
Harbor House provides a lot of services, including: tutoring programs for children; volunteer-led English classes and professional ESL programs for adults; emergency food and clothing distribution as well as a thrift store for the neighborhood; kids clubs and after-school programs; plus a safe off-the-street hangout for teens. The children I've seen participating in the program seem genuinely happy and confident. Harbor House is changing lives on a daily basis.
There are many ways a person can help with the work Harbor House is doing. Like most non-profits, it takes donations and volunteers to run the facility and do the good work. Contact Harbor House for additional information on how you can help.
