Become a Sponsor
Sponsorship is a wonderful opportunity to help support Orange County children, elderly, and/or disabled adults in crisis for:
- Businesses
- Churches
- Individuals
- Neighborhoods
- Sunday School groups
Sponsors have the option of sponsoring individual children, sibling groups, elderly, and/or disabled adults.
