I recently joined Serving People In Need as executive director, advisor and donor. I joined this organization after extensive research on the unhoused community in Orange County, CA. This group has a thirty year history of helping families in crisis get placed in permanent housing. They also have a volunteer street service team that donates time and supplies every week to deliver hundreds of meals to local shelters. There are incredible community leaders on the board, many of whom have served for decades, and all of whom give generously of their time, talent and treasure. This is a great organization worthy of your attention!
I have been volunteering for SPIN, Inc. since 1990. I have shopped at Sams Club to purchase food for the street services, held clothing and food drives to collect necessities for those SPIN serves, and worked on committees for the annual gala fund raiser. I have had a close association with many charities through membership in National Charity League and I believe that SPIN makes the best impact in the lives of the people it serves. The dedicated staff and passionate director make this organization stand out among the others. Just ask one of their clients and you will be in tears listening to their beautiful "success stories". As an annual supporter, I highly recommend that you consider donating your time or money to the efforts of SPIN.
I am a native resident of Newport Beach and have been involved in many charitible organizations in the area as a volunteer and donor. SPIN has become our new charity of choice over the last few years. I have organized large drives for warm winter clothing, hygiene kits and food for the homeless and local shelters that they serve. They are a wonderful small group that is professional, organized and friendly. They are truly dedicated to helping others in a hands on manner. Kim Frazier has come to speak to my Girl Scout troops and Assistance League groups as a volunteer. She has shown very impressive videos that share the plight of homelessness in Orange County. I am quite impressed with the operation of the SPIN organization and my family also gives regularly to the group because we strongly believe in the depth of what they are doing. Our daughters have also worked at SPIN for Girl Scouts and our older girls earned their Gold Award which equates to the Eagle Scout award through SPIN. We will continue to support this wonderful organization and are extremely pleased with the impact they are making in our community. I encourage others to see how they are helping to change lives...
SPIN has to be one of the most worthwhile causes out there. The ability of this organization to get people on their feet is amazing. Instead of just simply providing hand outs, they produce results via an excellent combination of sustenance, shelter and training. I would highly recommend SPIN to anyone looking for a better place to donate their charitable contributions!
