I found Orange County Rescue Mission and I love the support they provide for the community so I decided I wanted to give my donations to them. Orange County Rescue Mission is open Friday to Wednesday from 8am-5pm, Closed Thursdays. They have a convenient area for you to drive up, and their volunteers are super nice and will be more than happy to help you lift and unload your donations. Donation receipts available upon request.

I've previously had my donations picked up, or gone to donation bins, or dropped a few things off at Goodwill. Orange County Rescue Mission has a drive thru drop-off for your donations. I had 5 boxes, so a lovely gentleman brought a bin on wheels over and helped me put my boxes inside. He asked if I would need a receipt for my taxes but I politely declined. I do believe the items I donated had good value but I don't have much experience with taxes and previous receipts I've gotten usually end up missing by tax season. Prior to donating my things, I was able to go on their website and see exactly what items they accept. This helped a LOT because there were actually a lot of items I wouldn't have even considered donating like unused toiletries. I would probably try to give them to a family member or a friend of perhaps end up just tossing it away. I'm really glad they provide a list of acceptable items for donating!! I hope other people who wish to donate items really do READ lists such as this one, so they are aware of what can be donated. I just remembered people from my past who would try to donate opened foods, & insisted they were still good because they were non-perishables. Some people just don't know you can't donate ANYTHING. I don't understand people who donate things that they wouldn't use, if the same or similar item were donated to them (in the same manner). Some behaviors are perplexing. Anyway!! I LOVE this place and I'm currently working on filling up another 3 boxes. I'll have to go buy some more boxes so I can start sorting through my storage unit as well!! I do have a few questions on some items and what condition they must be in to be accepted for donation. I'm pretty sure they had a number on the same page that I could call and ask, which I will be doing, just haven't gotten around to it yet! I'm really happy I found this place & recommend others to donate items & volunteer here if they have the time! (:

Yesterday I stopped by here and went into the office to see if they took food donations,…read morespecifically cake pan gifts. They did! Cake pan gifts are a 9x13 disposable cake pan from dollar tree, a box of cake mix, can of frosting, birthday card, balloons, (I added a birthday button), birthday candles and a can of sprite. You can google the recipe to make a cake with sprite instead of eggs and oil which is perfect for food banks. I will add a photo of my finished product for guidance. The gal at the front desk was very nice and instructed me to drive around to the side to the large open door. I walked in and someone asked how they could help me. She grabbed a cart and came out to m car and got my three bags that had the 12 cake pan gifts in them. She was so happy and excited to receive them and it made me feel so good!! Cant wait to make more in the future and bring them here.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina from Families Forward and Michael who worked…read moredirectly with the landlord. They are truly some of the best people I have ever had the privilege of working with. Christina is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is handled with care, and she treats you like family. Michael was professional, compassionate, and committed to helping in every way possible. Together, they made a very difficult process feel smooth and stress-free. Their warmth and genuine kindness show in everything they do. Families Forward as an organization is simply outstanding!!! They are so well organized, compassionate, and effective. They are a true blessing to the community, and I am beyond grateful for all of their support. If I could give more than five stars, I would. This group of people is the gold standard of how caseworkers and organizations should operate.

Let me start off by saying Destiny is amazing! Super friendly, funny, and easy to talk to, which…read moremakes the whole process more enjoyable, especially if you're donating platelets (since it takes longer and is more demanding on the body). I'll admit last time I went to donate platelets here a couple years back, it was a lot more painful and uncomfortable. So Destiny definitely made an impact on the reputation I had in mind for this location! (I still would donate anyway because I understand the discomfort last time was one time, due to a less skilled phlebotomist). The other staff are very kind as well. I like the selection of films and shows to watch during the donation. I've been wanting to watch The Pitt forever. Anyway.... I'm glad to know my donations help people in need. Also, the Red Cross Blood donor app is very user friendly and makes donations easy to track; I highly recommend. Remember to drink a lot of fluids and eat a good meal before your platelet donation!! Trust me, I got lightheaded because I didn't eat well! Don't be afraid to ask for snacks/drinks before and after; they have plenty! Other than that, everything was great!

Thanks to excellent care and counseling from Sue, Kim and the staff, I was able to deal with the loss on my own terms and begin to live my life in a way that would honor his memory. I also took classes to learn more about being more effective in all aspects of my life. I became a better and happier person than I was even prior to my dad's death! I improved relationships with my friends, my partner, and my job. The staff really listened to ME as a person. I also want to note that the environment is LGBTQ-friendly and I felt welcomed at every turn.
