UPDATE ON NEED'S VAN

A few weeks ago, NEED's white van was involved in an accident. As a result, we've had to temporarily rent a replacement.

Until further notice, look for the PENSKE van at our sites instead of the regular white van. We hope to have our regular van repaired soon.

NEED's Thursday Site Has Moved

After 30 years at Hearst and San Pablo, NEED's Thursday site is moving.

Effective July 15, 2021, NEED's Thursday site will be located at University Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets (on the north side of the street).
