2023 Giving Tuesday
We surpassed our goal, raising an incredible $51,436!
Your generosity has far exceeded our expectations, and we want to express our deepest appreciation to each and every one of you who contributed to this campaign.

Spreading Joy: 3rd Annual Boxes of Love
A heartfelt thank you to Friends Church of Yorba Linda and Jon Egger, Director of Missions and Global Outreach, for making our 3rd Annual Boxes of Love a holiday magic success! Their generous donation of brand-new toys allowed us to host a heartwarming celebration on December 15 for OCCTAC students. Witnessing the joy on families' faces was truly beautiful. Thank you, Friends Church, for spreading joy and love in our community during this special season!
