Through my consultancy, Small Business MD, I engage with small businesses and organizations, primarily concentrating on marketing and development strategies.

Having lived on and off in Contra Costa County for the last 25 years, I have a deep desire to help those in our community that are less fortunate and may need a helping hand.

I feel that my background and skills related to sales, marketing, and entrepreneurship can be an asset to actively advance the Trinity Center’s vision of a community working together to address the devastating effects of poverty and removing barriers to stable housing.

I’ve lived in the East Bay for nearly 30 years, raised two children here, and recently retired from a career in management consulting and information technology for retailers.

For much of that time, I’ve commuted through Walnut Creek into San Francisco, passing the growing ranks of the unhoused in both those cities, and asked how I could be part of the solution.

That led me earlier to the Board of a services provider in SF and more recently to Trinity Center, where I see many of the unhoused turn for help in Walnut Creek.

As a member of a church located in Civic Park, downtown Walnut Creek, and an active volunteer at Trinity Center, I have gotten to know individuals experiencing homelessness and heard their powerful stories – reminding me of the profound truth behind the adage “There but by the grace of God, go I”.

Hailey Solares is the Advocacy and Policy Manager at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano where she had worked since April of 2023. Her passion for poverty alleviation, as well as her lived experience of houselessness and food insecurity, is what brought her to where she is now. Her major in political science and minor in global poverty at UC Berkeley opened her eyes to how effective policy change can determine the outcomes of society for the better in combating poverty, leading her to advocacy.

Handing out food in the Fruitvale district of Oakland and volunteering at the Women’s Daytime Drop-in Center in Berkeley showed Hailey how intersectional poverty is — leading her to be passionate about it.
