Homelessness in Orange County

Most people are unaware that there is such a large homeless rate in Orange County. In fact, for this school year there are 22,025 children in Orange County. Through our We’ve Got Your Back program, GCHope has been feeding 356 of them on a weekly basis. Our goal this year is to feed 1,000 of these children each week.

To partner with us on this endeavor, the Dhont Family Foundation recently awarded us a $25,000 matching grant. Just today we received $4,000 from the Yorba Linda Sunrise Rotary club which will now be doubled. However, we have just 4 weeks left to raise $20,935 to fulfill the grant. That means we need service clubs, churches and individuals to get involved to help these children. The $25,000 raised will turn into $50,000 and will help to feed 208 homeless children and their families – EVERYSINGLEWEEK!

So, if you’ve been wondering about how you can make a difference this holiday season, consider giving to the We’ve Got Your Back program to have your gift doubled. It only takes a little bit to have a huge impact in the life of a child!
