Burrito Project
WHAT IS IT?
Group of bikers of all abilities that gather on Sundays at 3pm and ride bikes to local parks distributing burritos while developing relationships with the homeless community. As long as there are at least 2 riders, this project will be executed every Sunday.
WHERE:1341 West Baker Ave. Fullerton, CA 92833
WHEN:Generally every Sunday at 3pm.
WHO:Call Daryl to confirm at 213.725.3485
Q. Do I need a bike?
A. No, many times people drive the route and help bring supplies, or people can come earlier to see if extra are available by others who own multiple.
Q. Do I need a helmet?
A. No if over 18, but it is recommended.
Q. How about donations?
A. Recommended donations include tortillas, beans, rice, foil, bottled water, snacks, clothes (especially socks!), and toiletries (including feminine hygiene products) - many times when you get to know the homeless you can find out what else they may need! Please come before 3 if you are bringing supplies.
Q. Anything else?
A. It also helps to have gloves and a big backpack is great for carrying burritos and other handouts. A light/rear blinker is nice since sometimes it starts getting a little dark before we finish.
Laundry Love
Laundry Love Projects (LLPs) are regular opportunities to help people who are struggling financially by assisting them with doing their laundry. Relationships are built, and LLPs become small communities of common concern in which participants often find that they receive assistance and benefit with other areas of their lives.
Currently, our Laundry Love takes place every other Tuesday, 5-8:30pm at Grace Laundromat in Fullerton. We usually have about 5-7 consistent volunteers and on average about 25 patrons, 70% of which we know by name. We have done over $1200 worth of laundry in the past six months! We’ve met tons of individuals, families, homeless, and students. We are getting a better picture of who lives in our community. We are having great conversations; It’s incredible how open some people are, moreover how eager some of them are just to talk about life. God is doing some interesting stuff here.
Our current LLs are being funded by our volunteers, but we are in need of more support, and would love to see more people get involved. Whether it be volunteering your time or supporting through funds/supplies, we would love to have you walk with us as we continue to build relationships.
Please let us know if you would like to help in any way.

What is it?:
Once a month this ministry throws a party for the children at the emergency children’s shelter. These children have been removed from their home for various reasons such as abuse or the parents have been put in prison. The ages of the children range from birth to 18 years old. The purpose of this ministry is to encourage and love on the kids during the time we are there. Each monthly celebration consists of games, crafts, snacks and music brought to the children by a team of volunteers. When you come serve at a party you will be given a special job prior to the party. It may consist of buying a birthday cake for the kids, thinking of a game to play or help bring some snacks. If you would like to serve with the team, you must e-mail the Orangewood Ministry team to find out the date and time of the party.
