OneOC is proud to present our 2016 annual Holiday Directory, an easy-to-use,

compilation of volunteer and giving opportunities across Orange County, available
throughout the holiday season and beyond.
OneOC believes that anyone can serve. That is why we have volunteer programs
that involve community members of all ages, abilities and backgrounds; from
companies to families with young children to those looking for their encore
career, OneOC can help you help others.
For those who cannot volunteer during the Holiday Season, consider giving to the
community through other opportunities, such as nonprofit board service (page 5),
OneOCs Charitable Giving Cards (page 4), our annual five Days of Service (page
187), or various opportunities available on our Volunteer Calendar. You can visit
our website at www.OneOC.org to learn more, or contact us for additional
information at (714) 953-5757 or holidaydirectory@oneoc.org.
Your spirit of giving brings joy and hope to all. We look forward to hearing about
your experiences volunteering and giving, as well as the ways it has brought you
joy.

Charitable Giving Cards

This Holiday Season, give the gift of giving.
OneOCs Charitable Giving Cards are a smart, easy and

impactful way for everyone to participate in charitable
giving and do good in the community. Charitable Giving
Cards are similar to retail gift cards, but are instead
redeemed to benefit any 501(c)(3) public charity in the
United States. It is the gift that keeps on giving!
HOW IT WORKS
1. Order Charitable Giving Cards online at

www.OneOC.org/GivingCards and receive a tax
deduction for your entire purchase
2. Give the card to celebrate a special occasion such
as a birthday, a job well done or this upcoming
holiday season
3. The card recipient goes to www.OneOC.org and
redeems card as a donation to benefit any charity
of his or her choice
THE PERFECT COMPANY GIFT
Companies can also customize and brand Charitable

Giving Cards with their logo, and give to their
employees, customers, vendors or business partners.
Custom Charitable Giving Cards are the perfect way
for companies to make an impression of excellent
corporate citizenship while supporting the charities
and causes their employees, customers, vendors or
business partners care about.
Order your Charitable Giving Cards today at www.OneOC.org/GivingCards
This holiday season, give your skills and time

to a nonprofit organizations board of directors
There are thousands of nonprots in Orange County. Each and every one of these nonprots requires
board leadership to change and strengthen our communities. With OneOCs Board Connection
Program, you can play a vital role. Board Connection teaches community leaders and executives the
skills necessary to successfully serve on a nonprofit board, and then connects prospect board members
to compatible nonprofit boards in need. And did you know? Joining a nonprofit board is a great way to
give back to the community while gaining leadership skill and broadening your professional network.
HOW BOARD CONNECTION WORKS:
OneOC trains prospective

board members on the
landscape of Orange Countys
nonprofit sector and the art
of successfully serving on a
nonprofit board
After completing the training,

individuals receive exclusive
access to OneOCs online
database of Orange County
nonprofits and their vacant
board positions
Using the database,

individuals apply for and
get placed on compatible
nonprofit boards

Mentor Fundays Program
We host a Mentoring Funday every other month where we spend the day having fun

Mentor Days are 3-6 hour events where foster children are matched in small groups
with adult mentors for a fun outing at various places in Southern California. Children will
be able to experience sporting events, museums, movies, theme parks and more while
feeling valued and supported by the volunteer mentors and staff.
Mentor Tutoring Program

In our Mentor Tutoring Program, the mentor is matched to a foster youth in the area to
tutor once a week.
Mentoring Homework Help consists of volunteer mentors committing to a minimum of
6 months (1 school year preferred), where mentors meet with a foster child in the foster
home 1 day a week to provide homework help and tutoring. This consistent volunteer
gives the foster child a positive adult mentor in their lives who they are able to connect
with and work with towards academic goals. Homework can be a stressful time in a
foster home, and having a mentor to assist with that task is a big relief for foster parents
while giving the foster child the encouragement they need to succeed academically
through improving grades, attendance, and high school graduation.

drug related crimes, in order to financially survive, only because they
cant find legitimate employment. By offering convicted offenders a
second chance we are allowing them the opportunity and skill sets to
return to becoming contributing members of society. Studies show that in
addition to AA; housing and job stability are critical for addicts to remain
sober. Moreover, it saves taxpayers over $35,000 a year to keep our
clients out of jail.

average monthly donation from a single GR donor is approximately 4,300 pounds of
food, or the equivalent of 3,600 meals. A consistent volunteer-force is needed as Second

Holiday Gift Program
Join us for an opportunity to give a special holiday gift to a senior in need. We will
provide a gift bag and you simply fill it with goodies! Gift bags include items such as;
postage stamps, playing cards, mini flashlight, whistle, band aids, small jigsaw puzzle,
small calendar, and other items that would bring joy to a homebound senior in Orange
County.
Or you can choose to give a $25 prepaid Debit card, Target or Walmart gift card that
they can use to purchase something special.
Throughout the year over 900 seniors receive meals through our Meals on Wheels
program. The majority of these seniors live alone, have limited family contact, and are
very isolated and lonely. Most do not even celebrate the holidays, so receiving a gift
that is packed especially for them is unexpected and brings great joy!
Whether you want 1 bag for you and/or your family to fill, 20 bags for a small group, or
50 bags for your business to fill; every gift bag will make a difference in the life of an
isolated senior. This is a great way to make the season a little brighter for homebound
seniors.
If you would like to participate in the Holiday Gift Program, please contact Linda
Molthen (see below) for additional information.

Childrens Cerebral Palsy Movement
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
www.childrenscerebralpalsymovement.org
Childrens Cerebral Palsy Movement (CCPM) is a organization dedicated
to improving the quality of life and future outcomes for the 500,000
children affected by Cerebral Palsy (CP) in America, by designing, funding
and implementing innovative CP-focused rehab therapies. We are
committed to stand in the gap for children with Cerebral Palsy by
supporting innovative rehabilitation and research that can improve
quality of life and future outcomes. Together we are passionate about
reshaping our culture and transforming a diagnosis into a new destiny.
Wish List
CCPMs ability to successfully meet the needs of these orthopaedically challenged
children depends on the provision of specialized staffing for each class that ensures the
safety and success of each child. Specifically, each one-hour class will require the
facilitation of a physical therapist, a tenured dance instructor, a live musician, trained
doctoral student volunteers and payment of facility rental fees. As such, we would
benefit from:
Individual, corporate and/or foundation underwriting of our Community

Program that is budgeted at $57,000 for the first year. Although the program will
be revenue generating, the program will need to be substantially underwritten in
order to pay for the contract services of professional staff.
Given the projected delay in receiving NIH funding, CCPM would benefit from
receiving individual, corporate and/or foundation underwriting of a Larger
Clinical Trial. This trial is budgeted at $250,000.
For more information or for questions, please call or email Debbie Fragner, Childrens
Cerebral Palsy Movements Executive Director (see below).

Wish List
Donate gift cards for teenagers so that we can provide them with a great holiday. We
find the most useful gift cards for our teens are to box stores where they have a
selection: Target, Walmart, Payless Shoe Source, Movie Theater passes.
Donate holiday meal packages for our families that include: a main course (turkey or
ham), side dishes (canned vegetables, stuffing, potatoes, canned pumpkin or boxed
desserts). Contact us for delivery information.
Donate new infant and toddler clothes, blankets and toys. We find that many shelter
residents arrive with minimal to no clothes. Infant and toddler clothes move quickly.
These can be in our welcome package for new families and also gifts for the holidays.
For more information please contact info@wtlc.org or 714-922-1939 x100

making the blankets. YANA will pick up the made blankets after the group has made

desire alone is rarely enough to propel an organization
to achieve its goals.
With volunteer, training, consulting, coaching,
and back-office services, we help Orange Countys
nonprofits become as effective and efficient as they
are passionate about their missions. OneOC is uniquely
positioned in the community, a one-stop shop for
both the nonprofit sector and now, companies looking
to do good in the community.
Together, we accelerate the success of Orange County
nonprofits, bridging the gap between the reality of
what is and the bright possibility of what could be.
