Our Unseen Neighbors: A Fundraiser for Change

Oshman Family JCC - 3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto, CA 94303

Join us for an evening of reflection, empathy, and action at Our Unseen Neighbors: A Fundraiser for Change, a transformative event that goes beyond traditional fundraising. This immersive experience offers a powerful way to gain insight into the realities of living in poverty, all while supporting a worthy cause—Downtown Streets Team's efforts to help individuals transition out of homelessness through sustainable employment opportunities. 

About The Event

This year's event will feature a Poverty Simulation activity, a facilitated experience designed to bring awareness to the struggles faced by those living at the bottom of the economic ladder. Participants will be assigned “identities” and will navigate real-life scenarios and challenges faced by people living in poverty. Following the simulation, join us for a group debrief where you will reflect on the experience, share insights, and discuss ways to drive positive change for individuals, families, and communities affected by poverty.

This is not just an event—it's a call to action. By attending, you'll contribute directly to Downtown Streets Team’s work, helping individuals break free from the cycle of homelessness and build a better future. Enjoy a delicious spread of hors d’oeuvres and refreshments provided beforehand, while being part of a community working toward meaningful social change.
