THEOCWAY

Connecting Lives. Improving Futures.

The need is growing in Orange County and the system is not keeping up. Thousands of families live one paycheck away from losing their homes. Veterans, seniors, and working parents are caught in a safety net stretched too thin to meet today’s needs. Referrals get lost. Wait times drag on. And one medical bill or job loss can leave families on the edge.

 

We have the power to change the system. The vision is big. It’s only possible with you.
Join us.

Our Community Is Facing a Heartbreaking Reality

Most people don’t know that in Orange County alone, over 1 million people are struggling to make ends meet. When people don’t get help, their problems get worse and worse. We need to get ahead of these problems before they spiral out of control.

Will You Stand With Us?

“We can walk with people in need until they reach solid ground. We just need your help.”

Sue Parks, President & CEO, Orange County United Way
