No veteran should go hungry at home.
We help people, service clubs and groups collect food for Orange County’s homeless veterans. You gather it, we pick it up, and it goes straight to the people who need it.
Roughly 3,500 veterans are homeless in Orange County. Every can, bag and box collected helps put a meal in front of one of them.
