We envision an Orange County community where no one goes to bed hungry or without a place to call home.

Housing

We provide homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services by offering rental and utility assistance as well as affordable housing to households who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Food

Our food program distributes over 700,000 pounds of emergency, non-perishable, and fresh food to over 6,000 residents annually.

Education

Our educational programs help clients develop financial literacy and build professional skills to prevent homelessness and increase job opportunities.

2025 Impact Report

Because of supporters like YOU, hardship didn’t become a crisis for our neighbors.
Volunteer
Join our regularly scheduled and occasional volunteers that help South County Outreach prevent hunger and homelessness in Orange County.

Our volunteer opportunities offer ways for everyone to make a difference, from interacting with clients to sorting food and stocking shelves in our food market, from picking up donations to working at the Upscale Resale thrift store, and much more.

What We Do

South County Outreach has been providing services to our neighbors in need since 1989. How do we do that? Let’s take a look at what it takes to make this all happen every day.

THANK YOU!
