Serving People In Need   

SPIN has served over 74,000 families and individuals in Orange County since its inception in 1987.

SPIN was founded in 1987 by Sam Boyce and six friends who wanted to help the homeless of Orange County. Each week, they passed out food and asked questions trying to determine what had brought these families and individuals to these circumstances. Time and time again, the volunteers received the same responses: “I lost my job and couldn’t pay the rent, so I was evicted,” or, “Even though I have a job, I cannot get the money together to pay the move-in costs for housing.” “My family and friends want nothing more to do with me.” Today, as housing prices continue to rise, the need for access remains high, and SPIN is more committed than ever to helping individuals and families reach self-sufficiency.

In addition to your gift of cash, there are several ways in which you can contribute to the success of SPIN and the people you want to help:

• Make an Annual Pledge
• Donate Stock
• Adopt-a-Family
• Attend our Fundraising Events
• Underwrite Programs
• Donate a vehicle – SPIN recieves 100% of the value
• Provide items on our “Wish List”
• Volunteer Time or Services
