Orange County Rescue Mission

I wanted to donate to a new organization other than goodwill. That being said, I won't be coming back this one unfortunately. I went to drop off donations that included clothing and brand new tumbler cups. I put the bags in the donation bin since there wasn't a worker out there and other donators were doing the same. Then a guy came out of the center and started throwing the bags we just dropped off from the original bin to another. But he threw the bags so carelessly that he ended up throwing one of the brand new cups on the ground and it almost hit another car that was also dropping off. I watched him during the whole situation. He laughed, stared at us in the car and then just picked it up and threw it into the bin. I get it, workers were there for a paycheck or for community hours but damn, At least be somewhat careful with the donations so others can have something nice and not something already damaged due to carelessness.

This review is long overdue. This location provides housing and real support for individuals working to get back on their feet, and you can feel the impact the moment you arrive. Drop-offs are quick, easy, and always greeted with a smile. Everyone is welcoming and grateful, which makes donating feel even more meaningful. This is my go-to place to drop off items, knowing they’re going directly to a great cause and making a real difference in people’s lives. Highly recommend supporting them however you can.

I recently visited this organization with adult student. And I was very impressed of all that is being done there in the Name of Jesus. My prayer is for all souls being helped and healed at this location.
