Currently two Dublin churches contribute to a fund which provides food gift cards and/or a one-night stay at a hotel in Pleasanton. A request can only be made once a year.
Those in need contact a church representative who provides them with an approval letter. The letter is taken to the Dublin Police Department and presented to the sergeant on duty.
The department runs a criminal check before issuing a voucher or gift card.
