Divine Choices   
non profit spotlight 
 DIVINE CHOICES
In 2010 TCF awarded a grant to Divine Choices to facilitate free "Stewards of Children" awareness/prevention workshops for Tustin police officers. The mission of Divine Choices is to provide sexual abuse prevention education to adults who care for and interact with children and to help transform lives of childhood sexual abuse survivors. 
 
Their HUGS (Help Us Grow Safely) program is a community based grass-roots awareness and prevention program designed to protect children through education of caregivers, coaches and parents. Contact them at www.divinechoices.org if you think their program to learn to recognize abuse would be valuable for members of your organization.
RECYCLE ARTLIVEgreen
Tip of the Month 
Did you know that if you used one disposable paper coffee cup every day for a year, you would create 23 lbs of waste in addition to wasting valuable natural resources in manufacturing more paper cups?  Take a reusable cup to your coffee shop each day for a month and you'll cut your waste by 10%.

Help us Recognize your Superheroes!

 

There have always been stories and folk tales about people with special abilities and characteristics.... We call these people VOLUNTEERS.  Volunteers are the backbone of the nonprofit organizations that do so much to build a stronger Tustin and the Tustin Community Foundation is happy to provide a forum for these organizations and schools to publicly recognize their special volunteers whose actions are the epitome of a community with heart.
