Food Justice Fund

We are a local group of community members in Orange County, CA who, after seeing how much our local, state, and federal governments continue to fail our unhoused neighbors, have been organizing since the beginning of 2020 in the effort to do regular distributions of food, hygienic items, blankets, bags, and other tangible goods to these communities. Since the COVID-19 crisis has started, we have doubled these efforts and are now doing weekly distributions to our unhoused friends for food, water, and other basic essentials many of us take for granted. We originally set up a Gofundme to maintain a consistent fund of sorts for people to donate to in order to help our cause. We have raised over $2,000 with Gofundme as of my writing this, and have been able to use those funds toward our efforts. However, due to Gofundme taking a percentage out from each donation we receive, we thought it might be a good idea to begin transitioning to this platform instead, as we have seen and heard good testimonials about it.

Every cent we raise with this fundraiser goes toward the purchase of food and other essential items for our unsheltered community. We appreciate anyone who is able to donate any amount to us during this difficult time when funds are so tight for so many people. Even simply sharing the fund is incredibly helpful. We also understand that many who come across this page may wamt to help, but not have money to spare. If you would like to help in any other way, either by donating your own spare food/supplies, or simply with your own time and effort, we are happy to hear from you! You may feel free to message us on this platform with anything you would like to donate, or any interest you have in being involved. We can also pick up supplies or else offer a place for drop-off.

Thank you for your time and interest!
