HomeAid Donation
Homelessness is not an idenity. Homelessness is a circumstance. A circumstance that is ongoing and growing.
The Orange Elks Lodge #1475 presented HomeAid of Orange County with a $2,000 donation toward their programs for the homeless. HomeAid Orange County is a 501 © 3 charitable non-profit organization that builds and renovates shelters for those in Orange County who find themselves homeless due to sudden job loss, catastrophic illness, spousal desertion and domestic violence. The Charitable Arm of the Building Industry Association, HomeAid Orange County acts as the shelter developer and liaison between county homeless care providers, the community at large, volunteers, residential builders and their partners.
