Orangewood Children’s Foundation was founded in 1981 and has embodied what it means to be Children’s Advocate.

We at Seven Gables are lucky to have found our way to them! We look forward to our monthly visits to the Foundation on 17th Street in Santa Ana.

A flurry of activity always ensues just a few days beforehand. Agents asking what they can contribute and if they can show up and help cook for the group of kids!

Junes festivities were no different! The theme was “Emergency Preparedness Kits”.

Along with many staples, several people donated clothing items, as well as necessities in case of an emergency.

The food as always was great! Seven Gables provided the mile long sandwiches and there was no shortage of sweets, salads and fruit to go around!

We thank everyone who participated to make it such a great success!

July’s theme is “Back to School Supplies” . Want to donate? Pick up some school supplies and drop them off at any one of our offices:

12651 Newport Avenue Tustin or 5481 Santa Ana Canyon Road, Anaheim Hills.

Summer Success!

Today was the first Cooking Session of our year long commitment to Orangewood’s Children’s Foundation.

Emails were sent and arrangements were made with regards to who was bringing what and what time we would meet.

Pam, Lisa, Dee Dee and I met there at 9:30 this morning armed with boxes of food! We had rolls, pasta, fruit, salad and LOTS of desserts donated by some of our wonderful Seven Gables Agents.

This is Kristy and she is the go-to gal that worked so diligently with Lisa, Pam and I to put this together.

We chopped, and sliced, arranged and moved things around to make sure that there would be plenty of food for any of the youth that showed up today and tomorrow.

This is Jessica who is now a Pre-Mentor, which means she goes to visit with youth in Foster Homes and explains their options and having gone through the system herself, she has great wisdom and compassion for what these young folks are going through.

A HUGE thank you to Orangewood for allowing us to adopt them and give back to our community and Hugs and Thanks to:

Dee Dee Heath for her contribution of rolls and her time.

Laura Till for her contribution of rolls and brownies

Jocelyn Tan for her contribution of cookies.

Barbara Grandolfo for her contribution of cookies.

Diana Kendall for her contribution of lemon bars.

Melida Canfield for her contribution of the most ooey, gooey, chewy mouthwatering brownie cookie bars

Lisa Greubel for her contribution of time, pasta, homemade sauce, and brownies.

Pamela Huitt for her contribution of her time, oranges, apples, pears and lasagna.

And I’ll even throw myself in the mix for bringing a salad and donating time, which is something I LOVE to do!

If you can help out, we will be getting together once a month on the last Wednesday of each month and next month’s menu will be enchiladas! What can you bring?

Also, please remember that we will be collecting hygiene supplies throughout the month of April for the foundation. ALL are welcome to contribute!
