On Tuesday, December 15, 2009, the Southwest Community Center in Santa Ana was almost burned to the ground by an electrical fire. The center serves food to the hungry on a daily basis and provides clothing, food baskets, toys to families needing assistance.
Please do not take donations to the Southwest Community Center because the site is not safe and they need to clean up after the fire. The United Way of Orange County is coordinating collecting food, clothing, money, toys and blankets for the center.
From December 15-18, 2009, drop off donations at Orange County United Way, 18012 Mitchell Ave South Irvine, CA 92614. Specific items needed are canned food for food baskets (corn, beans, rice, tuna, etc); clothing for men, women and children; blankets; new, unwrapped toys for children aged 0-12.
If you prefer to donate money, use this link to make a donation. If you don't want to use a credit card over the internet, you can print out the form and mail it in.
