The Way Out is an event supporting vital programs and services for those in need throughout Alameda County.  Funds raised through this event will stay local and go toward food, shelter, job training, mentoring, youth programs, and so much more! 

Last year, The Salvation Army of Alameda County served 15,418 people because of support from people like you!

A VIRTUAL EVENT YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS!

Please join us for this one-of-a-kind virtual event that mixes intimate dinner gatherings with virtual connections and powerful philanthropy. 

 

We will gather virtually in Alice Waters' kitchen and cook alongside Alice and her daughter, Fanny, while enjoying a meaningful program and lively auction to support the programs of The Salvation Army of Alameda! 

Registered guests will receive a fabulous (and simple) recipe and list of ingredients so you can prepare a favorite recipe of Alice's during the program! ​ 
(It may augment any meal you have planned )

And for a bit of levity and fun.....enter your pet in our Pet Photo Contest.
