Giving Gatherings are an opportunity to connect with the Children Rising community and invest in a child’s future.

Giving Gatherings are a series of three small, intimate events hosted in the homes of Children Rising supporters throughout Oakland and the East Bay. These two-hour gatherings include delicious food, engaging conversation, and inspiring stories about our kids. Help us engage more support and resources to expand the “Circle of Care” to more children in Oakland!

Three events during
May 2026
