The contributions to the Orange County Community Foundation’s ReachOut OC initiative has made a difference to thousands of our neighbors in need.

With compassionate and generous support from donors from Orange County and beyond, $655,000 was distributed on June 30, 2010 to 40 local nonprofit organizations providing food, shelter, job skills and mental health and medical care to vulnerable families and children impacted by the economic crisis.

Shelly Hoss President at Orange County Community Foundation wanted to share the impact of the gifts given. Each nonprofit organization receiving a ReachOut OC grant has countless stories about the individuals and families they serve. A ReachOut OC results video features donors and some stories as well as insights on how a program like ReachOut OC can make a difference, thanks to the support of caring people ready to make a difference.
