Pantry Items Needed
Thank you for helping us restock the pantry in our onsite resource center kitchen. Pantry items are distributed monthly to our youth who are struggling to make ends meet, and they make a huge difference for these youth! Below are the items that we are currently in need of. Donations can be dropped off at our front desk, 1575 E. 17th St., Santa Ana, Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm. If you have any questions, please contact Alyssa Baeza at abaeza@orangewoodfoundation.org.
