In one recent year five Family Service Centers in Orange County, reaching from Anaheim to San Clemente, provided 18,045 people with rental and utility assistance, food and clothing. During one Christmas season 21,114 people were shown the true meaning of Christmas - receiving a gift from others. Corporation partnerships, community leaders and many individuals supported the Army throughout the year with 11 children's shopping sprees. 510 children received new clothes, backpacks and educational supplies.

We are most grateful to individuals, corporations and organizations who have a heart for service, and work with us to meet real life needs.

Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking is a modern form of slavery that often begins as a promised job that becomes forced labor under threats against the person or their family; or debt servitude. It is the fastest growing criminal activity in the world. And it happens everywhere -- even in Orange County.
