Peoples Oakland

As we step into a new year, we’re holding space for hope, healing, and possibility. 🌱

At Peoples Oakland, we believe recovery is not a straight line—it’s a journey shaped by compassion, connection, and community. Each day, we are reminded that wellness looks different for everyone, and that every step forward, no matter how small, matters.

This year, we recommit to meeting people where they are, honoring the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and continuing to build a community rooted in our core values: hope, integrity, respect, empathy, and humility. Together, we create space for voices to be heard, stories to be shared, and lives to be transformed.

Here’s to a new year filled with courage, kindness, and collective healing.
✨ We’re grateful to walk this journey with you. ✨

Thank You to UPMC

We extend our deepest gratitude to John Krolicki and the UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside Charity Golf Outing Committee for 15 years of partnership and support through the Annual Charity Golf Outing benefiting Oakland-based organizations.

This longstanding commitment to Peoples Oakland and our community reflects a deep dedication to health, connection, and neighborhood well-being. We are honored to share that this year’s support represents the largest contribution Peoples Oakland has received through this partnership, making a meaningful impact on our ability to serve adults living with severe and persistent mental illness throughout Allegheny County and the Oakland community.

The funds raised will directly support our Employment Assistance Program, helping to employ 25–30 Peoples Oakland members annually and further our mission of stability, dignity, and opportunity through work.

We are incredibly thankful for this partnership and for the continued investment in our mission.
