Give Back, Give Hope
Here is an important message from our Board President, Willard Ogan.
Family Paths is a recognized leader in Alameda County for Community Mental Health Services.
Most programs and services are funded by contracts from county, state and local sources; however, none completely cover costs.
In FY 2016-2017, we provided $54,000 in pro-bono services. Your generosity offsets funding gaps and allows continued service to those without any coverage.
Your tax-deductible donation goes directly to supporting the critical programs and services of Family Paths. If you’d like to make a donation with a credit card, please click the button below.
