Senior citizens living in their own homes need not worry about how they will get their daily food because Meals on Wheels Orange County will deliver it to them. This organization has been serving nutritious meals to the elderly and persons with disabilities for over fifty years.
Orange County Conservation Corps
Orange County Conservation Corps is a charitable institution that trains, employs and educates at risk adults.

Patriots and Paws, like its namesake, provides military veterans (Patriots) with their own rescued animals (Paws) for them to train as a service animal. This free matching helps military personnel have a comforting four-legged companion and get back on their feet after serving the country.
