Rooted in Real Service,
Built on Real Trust

Boots and Bricks was founded on a simple belief: every family deserves access to reliable, compassionate support — whether that's in-home care for a loved one, a clean and safe space to live, or a pathway to meaningful work.

Our team draws on deep experience across funeral services, in-home senior care, professional janitorial, and community outreach. That breadth means we understand the whole picture — and we show up with the right support at the right time.

We are your neighbors. We take that seriously.

What Our Community Says

See all stories →

When my father needed daily support, Boots and Bricks showed up consistently — not just as caregivers, but as genuine neighbors. That made all the difference for our whole family.

Delores M. Family Caregiver, Oakland

The janitorial team transformed our community center. They respect the space and the people who use it. That's hard to find.

Marcus T. Community Center Director, Berkeley

After my husband passed, I didn't know how to navigate everything alone. Boots and Bricks helped with the details so I could focus on healing. I'm so grateful.

Ruth C. Community Member, Richmond

Boots and Bricks helped me navigate housing paperwork when I was overwhelmed after losing my job. They didn't judge — they just showed up with real help. That's rare.

Elena F. Single Parent, East Oakland

I'd been out of work for almost a year. The training program didn't just teach me skills — they actually helped me get hired. I'm starting a new position next month.

Jamal H. Workforce Program Graduate, Richmond

Volunteering here has reminded me why I moved to the Bay Area in the first place. The team treats every act of service like it matters — because it does.

Who We Serve

Boots and Bricks was built for the people who fall through the cracks of too many systems — and for the families who love them.

Seniors & Aging Adults

Those who want to remain in their homes but need a little — or a lot — of support to do so safely and with dignity.

Families in Need

Families navigating financial hardship, health crises, or transitions who need reliable, affordable support to stay together.

Individuals Facing Hardship

People working hard to rebuild — those transitioning out of difficult situations who need a hand up, not a lecture.

Underserved Populations

Communities that institutional support systems have historically under-served. We meet people where they are.
