Second Chance Orange County

Today we dropped off supplies requested by one of our disabled elderly homeless clients being sheltered in a local hotel.

One of our employees at Second Chance Orange County made these face masks As a team we do whatever it takes to keep people employed! These masks were donated to Lighthouse Church in #CostaMesa to help those that are living there protect themselves as they go off to work.... #homelessness #orangecountyhomeless #orangecountyhomelessness #covidmasks #covidmasksewing #masksewnwithlove

FALSE! About 75% of our clients have some sort of addiction but a great percentage of our clients have mental illness and another large portion of our clients are homeless due to losing jobs and unable to pay rent costs. #homelessnessawareness #homlessnessoc #addictionrecovery #addiction #addictionoc #orangecounty #occharity #homelessmyth

Today we helped a client get on Zoom! Why is this such a big deal? This client has a child that has been out of school for 3 weeks in the #NewportBeach school system because the mom doesn't know how to use Zoom. ... Our Founder Deb helped walked her through the process and both her and her son got on a Zoom call for the first time. She is sober, she is housed and now her son can get back to school. Now that's a good day! #makeadifference #empowerment #occharity #ochomeless #ochomelessness #nonprofitsocialmedia #socialmediafornonprofits #socialmedianonprofit #homelesslivesmatter See more

Gotta brag on one of our clients! We met Dorothy when was living at homeless shelter. Although she has two degrees, Dorothy became homeless when her rent rates went to high. ... Second Chance OC helped her to rent a room and get a great job working as a care giver. We are so proud of you Dorothy! If you’d like to help use help wonderful people like Dorothy.

Even the littlest bit makes a big difference! #gratitude #homelessness #orangecounty #occharity #endhomelessness #endhomelessnessoc #endhomelessnessnow @ Newport Beach, California See more

GREAT NEWS!! Another Second Chance OC client started a job today as a file clerk! Like we do for so many clients, we brought him clothes and shoes so he is better prepared & confident for his new job. ... You can’t see it, but there is on GIANT smile under that mask!! #makeadifference #makingadifference #makingadifferencetogether #jobsearch #jobsinorangecounty #endhomelessness #endhomelessnessoc #endhomelessnessnow See more
