East Oakland
Bridges Coalition

The East Oakland Bridges Coalition (EOBC) was founded in January 2025 to unify and strengthen the ecosystem of community-serving organizations in East Oakland. EOBC brings together over 45 grassroots organizations, nonprofits, local businesses, and public agencies working across food justice, youth development, reentry and healing for the formerly incarcerated, senior support, housing, financial empowerment, environmental justice, and the creation of safe and culturally-rooted community spaces.
