We are on the cover of @catholicrurallife magazine! The 2025 spring issue features a story by Mariajose Garorti, CCOC Communications & Development Director. Visit our website to read the whole story about our Garden 🪴 or Hope - link in bio. 

“The Garden of Hope is more than a place where food is grown-it is a testament to the power of community, compassion, and resilience.”

In the heart of Orange
County, California, a small
but significant project is making
a profound impact on the
community. The Garden of Hope,
an initiative by Catholic Charities
of Orange County, is more than
just a garden; it is a symbol
of nourishment, renewal, and
empowerment for those in need.
