Our Focus
We help children, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by empowering people of all ages to dream, aspire and achieve.
Education
A solid foundation in education is key to success later in life. Your donation funds supplies, books and extracurricular activities to help get youngsters off to the right start.
Community
Community is the family that goes beyond family. It is the people and places that we come in contact with each and every day. When we strengthen communities, we strengthen individuals.
Our
Programs

Help for Children
ButtonAt Helping Hands of Orange County, we believe that no child should fall behind simply because they lack basic essentials. Right now, we’re focused on providing books, school supplies, and eyeglasses to children in need across our community.

Toy Donation
ButtonSome children have more toys than they know what to do with, while others have few good toys to speak of. We strive to matchmake between toys and youngsters in need with our yearlong toy exchange program.

Special Needs
Bringing up a healthy and happy child is particularly challenging for underprivileged families dealing with children who have special needs. We offer daily assistance to these families, in the form of after-school help and other activities.

After-school Activities
When school is over for the day, not all children have a comfortable environment to come home to. In our after school activity programs we offer a warm place to stay, study, play, eat and relax.

Animal Therapy
Numerous studies have shown that being with animals helps people overcome learning difficulties, emotional challenges and more. Not every family can have a household pet, so our animal center enables children to enjoy the benefit of having a pet without the cost.
