CALIFRONIA ORANGE COUNTY BEST RESOURCE LIST

 

This Valentine’s Day with Love & Hope I place an Orange County Resource List post for those who are in need.

The O.C. Resource List is my way of playing it forward and to relief some of my guilt when I see a man, a woman or family standing with a sign that asks for financial aid. I witness this scenario several times a week on our local popular street corners.

I always wonder if these persons are aware of some of the services available in Orange County. I also question if I were to give them money would they spend the funds on essentials.

My solution was to create an Orange County Resource List that people could give out to others in need. The Resource List of Orange County contains where to find financial resources, free or low-cost health care, food banks and other sources to improve the quality of life.

I plan to give out the O.C. Resource List with a small gift certificate to McDonalds or a to the same type of fast food chain.

If you would like to play it forward, then you can print the page below the line. I have tried to line it up as a Page 3 and Page 4 on a piece of letter-sized paper.

Here Is The Orange County's Best Resource List
