2014 Annual Report
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your thoughtful and compassionate support of St. Mary’s Center. Whether you made a
financial donation, provided a Sunday dinner, organized an art project, worked in our garden, or read a
story to preschoolers, please know that this enterprise cannot succeed without your help.
This year St. Mary’s Center impacted the lives of more than 3,000 people, many of whom were
isolated homeless seniors or frail seniors who found it difficult to maintain all the skills of daily living
without some help. Through our efforts many seniors were able to find a place to live or maintain their
home, perhaps reconnect with family, and most importantly reclaim an inner strength and sense of
well-being that comes with “belonging” somewhere – in this case, the St. Mary’s Center community.
Through our Food for All Program, families obtained grocery bags vital to extending modest budgets,
hundreds of children received presents during the holidays, and our preschool provided young
children with much-needed social skills development and learning within a play environment.
None of this would be possible without your sustained support.
It has been our intention this year to raise our visibility so that more people can discover the
remarkable spirit at the heart of St. Mary’s Center. To that end, with this Annual Report we are
debuting a new look for St. Mary’s Center – a new brand, with a new logo, tagline and a new website!
Please check out our website and send the link to your friends, family and colleagues.
Warm regards,

Philippines. Emilia found a job right away at the St.
Vincent de Paul Thrift store, so for years her only
experience of St. Mary’s was second-hand, through
her husband, who had first learned about the Center
from a friend. Very quickly, St. Mary’s became his
favorite place to go – every day. Once Emilia retired
to take care of her husband, St. Mary’s became their
favorite destination. They have developed friendships
through the Community Center, and are able to
extend their modest budget through our lunch and
grocery bag program. Between visits to his primary
care physician, Rodolfo sees our nursing students
to receive help with managing his medications.
Both Emilia and Rodolfo participate in the exercise
program, and are particularly drawn to dancing.

St. Mary’s Community Center
Celebrates the World We Live In
The “heartbeat” of St. Mary’s, our Community Center is a gathering place for homeless and low-income
seniors in Oakland. Isolation and food insecurity are constant issues for many of our participants. The
Community Center offers a warm welcome in the morning with coffee and pastries, a hot meal at noon,
food items “gleaned” from local merchants by volunteers are available daily, and supplemental bags of
groceries are given out several times during the month. The Center is also the primary meeting place
between our participants and community volunteers who help serve lunch, provide the Sunday Dinner, as
well as all the dinners during the Winter Shelter.

Awakening our creativity so that we can access our inner resilience is a key component of the healing
process at St. Mary’s Community Center, which is why art plays such a central role here for so many
participants. This year a number of our senior artists and their work were recognized at Oakland’s Art
Murmur with an exclusive exhibit at Uptown Body and Fender in Oakland. Several artists also participated in
a large exhibit on Homelessness held at Expressions Gallery in Berkeley.
