Our Impact
Serving with heart. Leading with purpose. Building hope.
Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply spread the word—you’re not just helping the homeless, you’re helping rebuild lives. Together, we’re creating a community where compassion fuels action—and no one is left behind.
Services We Provide
Since 2017, the SoJo Foundation, rooted in the heart of San Jose, has been a driving force in the fight against hunger and homelessness. What began as a local effort has grown into a movement—powered by compassion, community, and an unshakable belief that everyone deserves dignity, warmth, and a second chance.
At the core of our work is the Chicken Run, a grassroots initiative that brings together volunteers, local farms, businesses, and everyday heroes to deliver warm meals, essential clothing, and human connection to those living on the streets. Each meal we serve isn’t just food—it’s a message: You matter. You are not forgotten.
“Nearly everyone thanked us, appreciated our effort, especially when they had fresh warm food in their hands. It made me smile to see some people put the shirt on immediately, one more layer against the chill and windy weather.”
But we don’t stop at meals.
The SoJo Foundation is committed to holistic support. We understand that homelessness is complex—intertwined with mental health, joblessness, and systemic inequality. That’s why we go further: offering job training, mental health support, counseling, and access to life-changing resources. Our mission is not just to help people survive—but to help them thrive.
And we do it all with transparency, integrity, and heart. Every dollar, every hour volunteered, every donated item—goes directly to those who need it most.
Through consistent impact reporting and open communication, we keep our community informed, engaged, and empowered to be part of the solution.
