What does your donation mean to Orion Communities?

It means we can give a woman and her children a place to stay for the night when they have lost their home and she needs time to develop a plan.
It means we provide a food gift card to a young couple with a baby to bridge the gap until the next paycheck.
It means we can provide bus fare for a man to get to work when his car broke down and he doesn’t have the funds for the repair just yet.
It means we can keep the lights on in the office so we can listen to our clients and help develop a plan to move towards increased self-reliance.
We are a 501(c) (3) certified organization – all donations are tax deductible!

No donation is too small. All of our funding comes from non-government sources and donations. Thank you for helping us help those facing poverty, mental illness, unemployment and unexpected life challenges.
