Mission
The mission of South County Outreach is to prevent hunger and homelessness by helping people help themselves. It is by working toward this mission that we are able to realize our vision of a community where no one goes to bed hungry or without a place to call home.
About
Since 1989, South County Outreach (SCO) has been serving the areas most vulnerable populations through homeless & hunger prevention services. Assisting residents in 12 South Orange County communities, SCO is a non-secretarian organization dedicated to helping the unemployed, underemployed, households in crisis, & the homeless. Many of our clients struggle to survive making minimum wage. Annually, South County Outreach assists more that 9,000 residents, 45% of which are children and 15% are seniors. Included in our annual services are: an onsite food pantry with refrigeration & freezer storage to distribute almost 1 million pounds of food; 17 condominiums used for housing 30 homeless families; a workforce development program focused on computer training for 500 students; rental & utility assistance distributed to more than 300 households; and a thrift store. SCO relies on 250 weekly scheduled volunteers to assist with food pantry transportation and distribution.
