Dear LaShanda,


With Spring in full bloom, we have been active in the community sharing resources, hosting volunteer opportunities and creating meaningful partnerships to enhance and expand our community support.


Through all our work, we strive to ensure that we not only stabilize, but sustain and empower our community to create a better future. As you read on you will learn about our recent Giving Farm celebration as well as new community partnerships and an opportunity to join our monthly giving program, the Huggy Heart Club.


As always, our work would not be possible without your support! We thank you for being part of our mission and look forward to our continued partnership.


 

With gratitude,

P.S. Stay tuned for our 2024 Backpacks for Success Campaign launching May 1, 2024!

This Earth Day we commemorated 1 million pounds of produce harvested from the Giving Farm! What began in 2017 as a small farm at Westminster High School has evolved into a large farm to foodbank initiative benefitting the OC Food Bank and Westminster High students.


To celebrate this significant milestone, long term volunteers, students, school district representatives, and CAP OC staff gathered in celebration! The event featured meaningful recognitions, strawberry and avocado sales, farm tours, and delicious food from Bracken's Kitchen using farm fresh ingredients!


We are incredibly fortunate to partner with Westminster High School to support The Giving Farm and invest in the students who help it thrive. This local farm to food bank program brings fresh, nutritious produce to those in need, ensuring every family has access to healthy food. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Giving Farm's success!

Earlier this month we had the exciting opportunity to join the Jewish Community Foundation of Orange County and Jewish Art Collaborative as they kicked off their Be the Change "artivism" initiative right here in Orange County!


At the kick-off event we encouraged attendees to give back by packing backpack kits in anticipation of this year's Backpacks for Success campaign and gathered non-perishable food items for the OC Food Bank. We also celebrated the unveiling of 8 tzedakah boxes, designed by regional artists, that will be displayed across Orange County through June 30, 2024.


Check out all of the boxes, including the one located at our CAP OC facilities, that are each designed with unique messages of hope, resilience, and empowerment. Together, we can Be the Change!
