Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, the Orange County Emergency Volunteer Center (EVC) has been activated to support immediate volunteer needs, including hands-on and virtual opportunities during this disaster.

Grandma’s House of Hope is committed to improving the quality of life for Orange County’s most vulnerable, underserved and socio-economically disadvantaged community members by providing housing, food and trauma-informed supportive services. GHH’s mission is to Empower the Invisible Populations of Orange County by targeting those who truly slip between the cracks of other programs, with a specific focus on serving those who are ineligible for or who have significant difficulty accessing other organizations’ services. We accomplish this through three core programs: GHH’s Rescued and Restored Housing Program, Nana’s Kidz program, and HopeWorks! Education and Enrichment Center program.

More than 20 percent of children living in Orange County - roughly 153,490 kids - are living in households that are considered "food insecure." 49% are eligible to receive free or reduced-price school meals. Many times, these children go to bed or to school hungry. Our Nana’s Kidz Food Distribution program helps lift that burden for 3,500 children each year.

We urgently need volunteers to help pack food bags for our Nana's Kidz program. Now more than ever the children in our program are relying on us to help provide weekly meals to them. We have tripled the amount of food bags we are making in order to provide meals to the children. That is why we urgently need volunteers to help us! Hours are flexible! We will provide a mask and gloves if you do not have any!
