Illumination Foundation is dedicated to breaking or preventing the cycle of homelessness in Orange County. We aim to do this in a variety of different ways. While our emphasis is providing housing first, we offer important wrap-around services as well, such as: afterschool programming, job readiness training, case management, and healthcare.
All the proceeds from our Thrift Store go directly to helping unstably housed families in our programs.
We are seeking individuals interested in volunteering in a customer service and retail environment. By helping clean, organize, tag, lift, and sort donations at our thrift store, you are impacting the lives of many families and individuals in need of support. We are especially looking for those who enjoy working in customer service!
Thift Store Hours of Operation: Tuesday - Saturday; 10 am - 4 pm.

Mission Statement
The Illumination Foundation (IF) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3), non-denominational, grassroots organization that addresses the crisis of homelessness in Southern California through integrated services that provide appropriate solutions.
Description
Experts on homelessness within Southern California agree that it has reached crisis proportions, and there are not enough resources designated for chronic and emergency programs. With that understanding, IF was founded in late 2007 to effectively lower the barriers for Orange County's homeless population to access existing resources and services. In July 2008 IF launched the "Pre-Transitional Housing and Wrap-Around Program", a comprehensive program that houses and supports homeless families with children in motels in Orange County. IF was established within the UC Irvine Health Care Executive MBA Program as a non-profit public charity organization. Today, IF's governing board consists of community leaders in medicine, nursing, social work, information technology, and education. Illuminate lives by bridging the gaps in existing services for the most underserved to disrupt or prevent the cycle of homelessness in Southern California.
We offer a low-entry threshold to provide a safety net for all homeless families with children.
We connect homeless or at-risk families and individuals with services they are eligible to receive.
We foster rehabilitation by empowering adults to become self-sufficient; and inspiring children to grow into independent, productive adults.
