Did you know 37.2 million Americans are living below the poverty level? That’s nearly the entire population of California! On any given night, 580,000 people in our country have no place to call home.
Think about that for a second.
Many Americans are being forced to choose between basic necessities like purchasing food, paying rent, or going to the doctor. Some end up without shelter. These choices should NOT be a reality.
Here's where Grandma's House of Hope steps in. We empower those who have been cast aside due to violence, human trafficking, disabilities, illnesses, addictions, incarceration, and other traumas and find themselves without shelter.
This holiday season, we’re raising $200,000 to give a home to even more of the most vulnerable in Orange County.
We provide more than just a roof over their heads - $1,400 helps give one unsheltered person food, clothing, counseling, life-skills, career mentorship, permanent housing placement, and more - tools needed for self-restoration and reintegration into the community.
Your contribution makes a HUGE impact. It transforms a life.
Imagine that.
$1,400 to help rescue someone from the shadows and give them hope for the future.
It’s not just about charity. It’s about empowering the invisible population in Orange County to reclaim their lives. We can make a difference - right here in our backyard. Together, we can change the landscape of Orange County.
Take this journey with us - a journey of hope, healing and restoration.
Stay tuned for inspiring stories from our participants, graduates and staff. Follow and like us on social media. Spread the word.
Let’s make this a season of Empowering Hope!
