During the fall season I am often asked for ways to serve the Orange County Rescue Mission as the holidays arrive. One of the best ways to help those in need this holiday season is by organizing a collection drive!
Collection drives are a great way to come together with family, friends, community groups, or coworkers and fill a need for a hurting and broken person in Orange County. Some items the Mission is always in need of are:
· Diapers & Pull-ups
· Baby wipes
· Socks
· Toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash/soap, toothbrushes, etc.
· Bedding – Twin or Queen size
· Towels – Body towels, hand towels, wash cloths
· Baby items – bibs, burp cloths, crib bedding, baby lotion
This is a simple way to get involved and serve the community! Just spread the word that you are hosting a collection drive for the Orange County Rescue Mission, collect your items from neighbors, family members, friends, coworkers, etc. and drop the items off at our Village of Hope location in Tustin. Our Donation Drop-off Center is open Monday through Saturday from 8a-5p and is always happy to assist with unloading and providing receipts.
Thank you for your generosity and heart to serve the Least, Last, and Lost in Orange County. Your donations will bless a homeless and hurting neighbor and will bring joy to their holiday season.
