Review for Helping Our People In Elsinore Inc, Lake Elsinore, CA, USA
We just dropped off some groceries this morning and witnessed a wonderful event of volunteers (students, Rotarians, etc) helping carry groceries to people's cars which were stretched out several blocks from the distribution center. This volunteer led and run food bank is just exactly the charity you've been looking for to donate funds.

Review for Neighborhood Housing Services Of Orange County Inc, Orange, CA, USA
Our housing nonprofit has had a relationship with NHS from its inception in 1977 as Jim Yacenda, NHS Executive Director in 1977 was involved in the formation of our nonprofit. NHSOC has been instrumental in many of our renters and employees becoming homeowners. They have exceptional tools and knowledge. We just completed a successful collaboration in the development of single family homes in Santa Ana that now house low income first time homeowners who were assisted by NHSOC. They are an extremely valuable resource to our Orange County community.
