About Orangewood Children & Family Center

Orangewood Children and Family Center (OCFC) is a safe and welcoming 24-hour emergency shelter in Orange County, providing care for children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Operated by the County of Orange Social Services Agency and licensed by the California Department of Social Services, OCFC serves as a vital temporary refuge, offering stability and support during challenging times.

At the heart of OCFC is a dedicated community of over 250 volunteers who give their time and talents to brighten the lives of these children. Whether leading creative craft projects, teaching yoga, music, or art, or hosting gardening and cooking lessons, these volunteers play an essential role in fostering an environment filled with hope and healing.

Thanks to the generous support of organizations like La Casa, OCFC goes beyond providing safety—it creates a space where children can experience joy, connection, and care. Community groups, churches, and other supporters further enhance this mission by organizing meaningful activities such as field trips, cultural events, camping adventures, and even a special High School Prom for teens. Together, these collective efforts ensure that every child at OCFC feels a sense of belonging and hope for the future.
