The types of food they give away vary from day to day from chicken, milk, oranges, celery, potatoes, can goods, bread, cheese, onions, rice, ground beef, and apples, etc.

No one is being asked to join the Ministry, where they live, or what kind of shopping cart or car they have. The only thing being asked of them is to bring their own bags to carry the food and to not be hungry today.

Food is given every Monday and Friday from 2 pm until dusk at North Oakland Missionary Baptist Church, 1060 32nd St. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, they make deliveries to the elderly and physically challenged.

Pastor Jones also co-hosts a Christian radio show with a national audience of listeners called The Brew Crew weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 9 am PST. on kbrg/db.com.

Pastor Jones also said “It is very important that people register to vote and we are setting a goal to get 10,000 new registered voters from our radio show. We are partnering with the Make A Difference And Vote movement and their plan to get 20 million new voters by the 2020 November election.”

They have started their first phase of voter registration by asking people in their free food line if they are registered to vote and if not asking if they are willing to. Then they asked them to go to www.vote1234.com from their cell phones and get registered right then in minutes.

During Black history month their free events feature speakers, voter registration, and free servings of BBQ, potato salad, green beans, and refreshments on.

February 28 and 29th from 11 am to 5 pm at Greater Grace Worship Center located at 1 International Blvd (corner of 107th ave.) in Oakland.

Partner groups and Ministries include: Arsolas Distribution & Housing-Candi Thornton McCreary, Loaves And Fishes-Shaaron Greenpeace, The Perfect Marriage Ministries-Pastor Ken Lackey, Greater Grace Worship Center-Pastor Don Phillips and Radio kbrg-dB.com

Jones said, “Your family and friends never have to go to bed hungry again with ministries like these that are doing God’s work but you have to show up.”

Barbara Lee on Wednesday morning formally announced her candidacy for Mayor in Oakland’s April 15 special election.

“Time and time again, Oaklanders have faced our toughest obstacles by uniting to meet our challenges,” said Lee.

“At this critical moment, we must not be a city divided but a community united,” she said. “If elected, I will bring my hands-on leadership, new ideas, and decades of experience in identifying billions in resources for our great city so all residents and businesses are stronger and safer and our community has optimism and confidence in Oakland’s future.”

“As Mayor, I’ll address our homelessness crisis, prioritize comprehensive public safety and mental health services, and lead with fiscal responsibility to deliver the core City services residents and business owners deserve. Let’s do this – together.”

“I’ve never shied away from a challenge,” said Lee. “I’m always ready to fight for Oakland.”

Many of you probably recall the oft-repeated expression when describing leadership that “many are called but few are chosen.” We will be inundated during January with many claims of qualifications by those who want to lead Oakland.

As of Jan. 1, 2025, we have heard the names of 14 potential candidates who might become Oakland’s next Mayor.

The Oakland Post is issuing a CALL to all candidates to present their answers, plans, or solutions in response to our list of questions.

Any candidate who wishes to receive a free announcement, publicity or space in the paper must submit solutions.

The first questions we propose are 1) What is your budget balancing plan?
What is your position on requiring all city employees to work full-time in their designated offices rather than remotely from their homes?
What is your plan to provide open-access opportunities to all police officers for overtime pay?
Since many businesses, especially downtown, have closed, what is your plan to attract and increase revenues?

Please send your submissions of 300 words or less to each question to Social@postnewsgroup.com or visit www.postnewsgroup.com
