Kelvin has lived in Oakland for over 25 years. Before joining Roots, he was homeless and living in his truck.

He was referred to the Emancipators Initiative and began working at Clean360 Soap Factory, where we train and develop community members who have faced significant barriers to employment.

Our End of the Year campaign calls for our community to help us continue to grow and assist people like Kelvin: https://empower.rootscommunityhealth.org/campaign/753348/donate
