For more than 50 years, Barrio Station has been a gathering place where young people found mentorship, families found support, and generations came together to celebrate, organize, learn, and grow.
Today, that story continues.
Since stepping in to help keep Barrio Station's doors open consistently, our team has been working alongside the community to keep services going, listen to what families need, and bring new energy to this beloved space. Construction has already begun to revitalize the facility, and the transformation is underway.

We provide free food, diapers, clothing, hygiene supplies, resource navigation, assistance with Medi-Cal, CalFresh, Section 8 recertifications, immigration support, referrals, and more-all at no cost.
