Bishop O'Dowd and Bay Alarm Come Through! BOD Softball TeamThanks to the Bishop O'Dowd Softball Team and Bay Alarm our transitional and permanent housing residents enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving! The softball team provided complete Thanksgiving dinners (from turkey to pumpkin pie) for 20 families. Bay Alarm donated 28 turkeys, and cartons of fresh carrots, bread and cookies. Thanks to their generosity and that of those providing dinner for our emergency shelters, all our clients sat down to a traditional turkey dinner.

Midway, with a success rate of 46%, is one of only five shelters countywide to exceed the 30% benchmark. San Leandro Shelter also placed in the top five shelters.
