Envision an Alameda County where every woman, man and child leads a healthy, fulfilling life. To help create a groundswell to end poverty, join the 7th Annual Walk to End Poverty on Saturday, May 19th at Lake Merritt in Oakland. The Walk to End Poverty is hosted by the Alameda County - Oakland Community Action Partnership (AC-OCAP), in collaboration with United Way of the Bay Area, and is free to the public. This event is a partnership between the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda to educate the public and bring awareness about the social issues that impact poverty throughout Alameda County.
