Host a Meal Service at our Recuperative Care Center or our Emergency Shelter. The Illumination Foundation Recuperative Care Center is a 24-hour shelter for homeless individuals who have been recently discharged from a local hospital and are recovering from various medical conditions and would otherwise have no other place to go. They are provided with a safe place to recover from their medical condition while being linked to additional services beyond their stay with us. They are homeless and often have no support system to turn to. Read more at www.ifrecup.org
We are looking for volunteer groups (5-10 people) who would like to prepare and provide a meal service for about 50 adults at one of our Recuperative Care locations or a meal service for about 100 adults at our Emergency Shelter.
We ask each group to prepare and provide the following items: food, drinks, paper plates, napkins, and utensils. Our Recuperative Care Centers have tables, chairs and some basic serving ware.

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.
