A big shoutout to Chick-fil-A for sponsoring our Christmas in July event! They brought in diapers, wipes, and other items for our kiddos. Plus, they provided 425 Chick-fil-A sandwiches to feed families at the event — yum! We're so grateful for their support!

Shoutout to the team from Allergan Aesthetics who visited Village of Hope to volunteer in our warehouse and clothing room! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

A big shoutout to the Angels Baseball Foundation for organizing such an awesome Back 2 School event! The Foundation invited nonprofits from around the community to visit the stadium and pick out new shoes and school supplies. Our kiddos were thrilled!

We recently enjoyed a visit from a group of staff from the Santa Ana mayor's office!

Meet Mieko Ishihara, our June Employee of the Month! 🎉 Mieko serves as a Senior Accounting Clerk at Hurtt Family Health Clinic, overseeing financial tasks across multiple locations including the clinic at Village of Hope! Her dedication to accuracy and compliance ensures smooth operations, and her commitment to our mission shines through her work every day. "While my role may often be perceived as 'behind the scenes,' I have had the privilege of interacting with some students and gaining insight into their life experiences, their stories, filled with authenticity and resilience that have provided me with a different view of life. Witnessing their journey from facing challenges to ultimately thriving and graduating, fills me with a profound sense of fulfillment, that my work is beyond just numbers, but a part of their success. I just bring my offering of 'two fishes and five loaves of bread,' and leave the rest for Jesus to complete the job and reaffirm my commitment to make a difference in the lives of others." Thank you for all your hard work, Mieko!

We're excited to announce that our new collaboration with Save the Storks, Mariners Church, and Horizon Pregnancy Clinic, called For Every Woman, will soon launch the Mobile Medical Clinic. This clinic will travel throughout Orange County to give pregnant women easy access to vital medical screenings and counseling. In cases where housing or support are the difference in whether a woman decides to give birth to her child, the Mobile Clinic team will offer her services at Orange County Rescue Mission as a next-step option.
