Catholic Charities of Orange County is thrilled to have partnered with @socalgas in educating our community about ways to find affordable solutions to lower the cost of monthly gas bills by joining programs offered by Southern California Gas Company under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. What we think is awesome 🤩 is the fact that #teamsocalgas also volunteers at food banks in Orange County, so places CCOC Cantlay Food Distribution Center in Santa Ana can distribute food to our community. This is truly amazing. Thank you @socalgas and thank you @cap_oc for being part of this effort! #workingonmywingsoc Please visit our bio to learn more about SoCalGas Assistance Program.

Hunger is Rising. Help Us Keep Cantlay's Doors Open! Since 2020, Cantlay Food Distribution Center has seen a staggering increase in the number of families and seniors needing food. What started as emergency relief during the pandemic has become a lifeline for thousands. Now, federal and state budget cuts threaten to shut this critical program down. Without immediate financial support, seniors on fixed incomes, single parents, and struggling families will be left with nothing. This is a crisis of dignity, survival and compassion. Your donation today goes directly to Cantlay Food Distribution Center. Your gift puts food on empty tables. Your action stops hunger. Join us to answer God's calling, and be the HOPE someone has been praying for. Follow the link in bio to donate today.
