Orange County Rescue Mission 

Last, but not least, I want to mention a donation opportunity to help the Orange County Rescue Mission to donate meals to the needy.  Here are the details below obtained by the Orange County Rescue Mission:

“By donating $35 you can provide 24 meals to those in need, feeding a single person three meals a day for more than a week,” explained Palmer. “In fact, a donation of $35 breaks down to a cost of only $1.48 for an entire meal, which is less than the cost of a morning cup of coffee.”

Donating to the Orange County Rescue Mission is simple and can be completed through the organization’s online donation center at www.RescueMission.org.  Donors can input their desired donation amount, or choose from the following meal donation options:

·$35 to provide 24 meals, which feeds one person for 8 days

·$71 to provide 48 meals, which feeds one person for 16 days

·$142 to provide 96 meals, which feeds one person for 32 days

·$250 to provide 169 meals, which feeds one person for 56 days

·$500 to provide 338 meals, which feeds one person for 112 days

Meals are provided to those in need in a number of ways.  Residents of the Orange County Rescue Mission’s transitional living facilities are fed each day, and the organization’s chili van outreach provides meals to the homeless throughout the county each week.  In addition, meals are given to those in need through partnerships with local food banks.”
