About SupplyBank.org & the Oakport Project

SupplyBank.org is an Oakland-based nonprofit with a vision that all people have the essential supplies they need. Through a trusted network of over 700 public and nonprofit agencies, we’ve distributed more than $100 million worth of basic necessities—like diapers, school supplies, and hygiene items—to under-resourced children and families across California.

Now, as the nonprofit developer of the Oakport Project, we’re proud to bring that same spirit of community impact to our hometown. The Oakport Project aims to restore and enhance Oakland’s shoreline—improving habitat, creating new parkland, and providing spaces where residents can connect with nature. This community workshop will be facilitated by one of our community engagement partners, Hood Planning Group.
