An amazing way to help folks in the OC!

You may know Nancy. A month behind on her rent. Trying to go back to work because she and her husband have both lost their jobs. Swallowing her pride to visit a local food pantry so she can feed her children.

Nancy is the new face of our Orange County neighbors in need—hard-working people for whom the American dream is gradually slipping out of reach.

Nancy is our neighbor; she may be yours too. Will you help your neighbors? Can you Seed the Change?

The Orange County Community Foundation is working to infuse local nonprofits with three quarters of a million dollars to support Orange County’s most vulnerable residents. With food, shelter and critical aid. Your contribution of any amount will be matched 2-to1. That’s two dollars for every one dollar.

Your support helps frail senior citizens; children who are victims of domestic violence, and mothers like Nancy—who never imagined they’d be seeking help to feed their children.
