In this Orange bubble, many are seeking jobs. At YAS every week we see new faces along with the old. Those that have lost jobs or are way overqualified for the job they are in. Every month we give out over 25,000 lbs of food here in this area locally. A community where most of the US thinks we are not hit by this difficult economy.
Thanks to you who give to organizations like ours. There are many. One family who just dropped off an envelope with money to us. We don’t know who they are but last year they started collecting their dollars and coins for those in need. The money helps pay for the gas that the van uses to pick up the food and the food we purchase from Second Harvest because we are an agency. Thank you for the many dedicated volunteers that come out weekly to help who are never recognized.
There are many great causes out there and we are one of them. We feed people in need.

Bottom Line – Lingering joblessness taxes nation’s food banks
Bottom Line – Lingering joblessness taxes nation’s food banks.
There are many questions surrounding whether or not people in the area where we live, Orange, Tustin, Villa Park, Santa Ana and El Modena really have a need for food and a food pantry whether elderly in need of food, working poor, single parents or unemployed.
Some statistics are: Percentage of residents living in poverty in 2009: 8.5%
(8.7% for White Non-Hispanic residents, 9.3% for Hispanic or Latino residents)

This is below poverty not even at poverty. 15 years old is the highest poverty level in Orange, why is that? How about Tustin? Those that are struggling to eat are all over the US and California is second in unemployment.
We do need help as a food pantry/food bank for those in our area and thank you to those who so generously give to us such as First Team Reality who gave generously to You Are Special this Thanksgiving.
