Back to School
CSA is seeking donations so we can purchase gift cards for this year’s Back to School event. Unhoused families will receive gift cards to buy what they most need so their children can have a successful school year.
Thanks to the support of a generous donor, we will offer $50 gift cards to each child. With your help, we can increase that amount. Please make an online donation here or you can drop off Target gift cards in $25 denominations to our office at 204 Stierlin Rd.
Thank you for your support of children in need in our community!
Interested in sponsoring the event or other questions?

Empty Bowls: Fundraiser for Homeless Services
Sunday, April 30, 2023
Sundaes on a Sunday
Rengstorff Park, Mountain View
Back by popular demand, CSA hosts our annual Homeless Services fundraiser as an ice cream sundae party in the park for the second year in a row. Empty Bowls, traditionally a soup supper, became Sundaes on a Sunday to accommodate an outdoor take on the worldwide phenomena pairing potters to fundraise for organizations serving the homeless. Featuring bottomless ice cream, beautiful bowls, and fun children’s activities, this year’s event takes place on Sunday, April 30th from 2-4pm in Rengstorff Park. Purchase your tickets online now, we expect this fundraiser to sell out.
With thanks to Baskin Robbins for the delicious ice cream and OVCAG for the beautiful bowls.
Empty Bowls will be at the BBQ Area of the park on Crisanto Ave. Parking may be limited – consider biking or taking the Mountain View Community Shuttle. Overflow parking is available at the Mountain View Senior Center.
Thank you for your interest in Empty Bowls. This event is now sold out! You can still make a donation in support of CSA Homeless Services at the link on this page.
