YES WE CANS Food Drives!!!

The OC3 service team continues to sponsor the YES WE CANS food drives for the benefit of our local food banks.The Interfaith Council(IFC) and Orange Congregations in Mission (OCIM) are local organizations committed to fighting hunger and poverty in Orange County. They report that they have seen the demand on the food pantry and kitchen increase as the economic conditions deteriorate. The working poor and folks fighting to hold on to their homes make it imperative for each of us to do what we can to help our neighbors.

It is up to all of us to promote YES WE CANS to the community and ask our neighbors and co-workers to help! Bring the donations you collect at work or in your neighborhood to the next Yes We Cans Saturday roundup!!

Limited edition OC3 t-shirts are still available!
