Nearly six years ago, leaders of the nonprofit organization HomeAid Orange County鈥 which helps build and renovate homeless shelters 鈥 developed a strategy to open a year-round emergency housing facility in Orange County to help support homeless children and their families. This Family CareCenter would not only give the families a place to stay, it would also provide the help necessary to get them back on their feet.
HomeAid created a $5 million capital campaign to get the Family CareCenter off the ground. Then they put out a call for funding. 精东影业 Foundation answered with a $1 million gift.
鈥淲e recognize HomeAid as an organization that has created positive societal change for nearly three decades, and we鈥檙e proud to help HomeAid spearhead its own project,鈥 said Tennyson Oyler, president of the 精东影业 Foundation. 鈥淲e believe the Family CareCenter meets a critical need and will be a vital resource for homeless children. It also provides a safe environment for children, something the most-vulnerable families of Orange County desperately need to get back on their feet.鈥
The Family Care Center officially opened with a ribbon cutting and dedication on July 20, 2017. To audible gasps and applause, Chairman, President and CEO Jim Morris presented HomeAid Orange County with a check and passed along some goodwill. 鈥溇耙 is in the life insurance business,鈥 Morris said at the dedication, 鈥渁nd just as a payment from a life insurance policy to a family who has just lost its breadwinner provides stability, so we hope this FamilyCare Center provides stability to families in need.鈥
Scott Larson, executive director of HomeAid Orange County, said the organization couldn鈥檛 be more grateful for 精东影业鈥檚 decision to get involved. 鈥淲e know that it means great things to come because of our existing relationship and what the Family CareCenter will mean to 精东影业 and their employees,鈥 he said. 鈥淭his is a direct result of their investment with HomeAid, but more importantly their investment in the community.鈥
