Mark it. Circle it. Set three alarms if you have to. One week from today is Help Them Home Giving Day; the single biggest day of the month for the people we serve. On April 22nd, SPIN OC joins 26 nonprofits across Orange County in a unified push to raise $1,500,000 for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Powered by the Orange County Community Foundation, this is one day with the power to change countless lives right here in OC

This year, we’ve set an ambitious goal of $250,000 because the need has never been greater. And thanks to a $50,000 matching gift, your impact will be doubled—bringing us even closer to our goal!

Nine months.That is how long one mother, Cynthia, and her children spent not knowing where they would sleep the next night. Shelters. Motels. Friends' living rooms. They had left everything behind after unbearable family losses and arrived in California with nothing but each other. The stress of it all made her physically ill. And just when she began to lose hope, something shifted.

City sources connected her to SPIN. Within two weeks of that first conversation, her family had keys to their own apartment. Two weeks. After nine months of uncertainty, two weeks was all it took once the right support was in place.

"I feel so deeply grateful and happy to have a place to call home that it is truly hard to express. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel."

You make these stories possible. And right now, your impact is doubled. Help Cynthia's story happen again:
