Thanks to Nana's Kidz Volunteers!
We are very thankful for all the volunteers who have jumped in to package, deliver & pick up Nana's Kidz bags along with all the locations that have worked with us while feeding hungry children in Orange County during this past school year. We appreciate the time and dedication given by the volunteers that are making a difference by offering nutritional food that GHH provides.
Hats off to: The Gathering Church, Karla Rodriquez, Athena Mulder, Tami Mangum & family, Kimberly Villalobis-Hutchess, Jenna Triolo, Jennifer & Mario Diaz, Laura Bachman, Katie Brooks and many others.
Together, we can help fight hunger!
This program is in higher demand over the summer months while the students are out of school and are not served a nutritional meal during the daytime hours. Please keep them in mind and consider helping by donating your time, non-perishable food items or a monetary contribution.
If you are interested in volunteering to deliver food bags please contact us at:
