Operation Hope North County provides a safe, caring, and supportive environment where families with children and single women experiencing homelessness can rebuild their lives and reclaim independence. Participating in their resident program helps individuals regain emotional stability, learn the skills they need for financial well-being, create healthy relationships, and establish housing stability. Help children in transition celebrate the fall with this fun outreach project! We have two opportunities to serve:
