HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE
Help Bring Joy This Holiday Season
Support Our Toy & Gift Drive for Families Forward!
The Orange County Paralegal Association is partnering with Families Forward to support local families in need through their 2025 Holiday Giving Program. Families Foward's mission is to prevent and end family homelessness by providing access to housing and resources that create lasting stability. One way they do this is by making the holidays brighter for families who are struggling - and you can help!
We will be hosting a Holiday Toy & Gift Drive to collect new, unwrapped gifts for children and teens served by Families Forward. These donations will go directly to families across Orange County who are working hard to regain stability.
OCPA will be collecting donations at the November 5, 2025 General Dinner Meeting & Scholarship Awards Ceremony, Hilton Hotel Costa Mesa from 6:00pm-8:00pm, 3050 Bristol Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92626.
