I think it's called love.”

Your Donations Make a Lasting Impact

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported our recent fundraising efforts for the OPICA Lunch Program. For over 30 years, OPICA provided free lunches to our members. However, due to unexpected and abrupt changes, we now need to cover the cost of these meals ourselves.

If you contributed to this crucial cause, we deeply appreciate your generosity. If you haven't yet had the chance to donate, there is still time to help. Your support continues to make a significant difference. Thank you!

September is just around the corner, and at OPICA, that means it's Scholarship Month! Throughout the year, we accept donations to support our Scholarship Program, which helps ensure everyone can access our services at a reduced rate. This rate is already lower than the actual cost, but for those who still face financial challenges, we offer additional scholarship support.

You can get a head start on making a difference by donating now. Your early support helps us continue to provide essential assistance to those in need. Thank you for your generosity!
