BANANAS partners with families and childcare providers to raise happy, confident children in the Northern Alameda County cities of Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, Piedmont, Emeryville, and Alameda. BANANAS operates out of an office building that was built in 1958 and is currently vulnerable to earthquake damage. This loan will support BANANAS with construction efforts to make the building more earthquake-resistant and strengthen the connections between the roof and walls to ensure its structural integrity. This loan helps BANANAS make an essential investment in their space that will allow the organization to focus on its essential work of supporting working families on their parenting journeys.
