Virtual Event
6:30pm Live Zoom and Q&A

Be a part of our virtual Family Service Night! Kick off the holiday season together as a family, by working on projects that will help our homeless neighbors and teach our kids about the challenges they face. SOS Family Service Night is geared towards families with children ages 3-18. The event is a unique opportunity to introduce your growing philanthropists to issues poverty and homelessness in our community in a way that’s relatable and easy to understand.

This event will be held virtually! You’ll receive all the information you need, and a supply list to complete the projects at home. Gather with your family to watch the live Zoom to learn more about our programs and who your efforts help, show off your completed projects and participate in a Q & A with SOS staff members.

Projects to Assemble at Home Include:

• Hygiene Kits
• Diaper Kits
• Shaving Kits
• Snack Bags

Register today!

We look forward to “seeing” you!

We are thrilled to announce a brand new event supporting Share Our Selves and the work we do providing care and assistance to those in need in Orange County — Share Our Selves’ Soirée on the Shore! This evening of food, drinks, live music, and fundraising for a great cause is sure to be a party you won’t forget!

Taking place under the twinkling market lights of Paséa Hotel & Spa’s outdoor, oceanfront lawn, the Soirée on the Shore will feature food stations from some of Orange County’s most loved restaurants in a casual, cocktail party atmosphere that encourages guests to mingle with the chefs and each other as they try the delicious bites, sip on wine and signature cocktails, and enjoy music from the live band. A silent auction, live auction, and opportunity drawing will give those in attendance many ways to show their support for SOS’s many services. After the short program, guests can dance the night away under the stars to the music of the All Star Trio.

We hope you will join us at this exciting new event, as we look to SOS’s next 50 years of serving our neighbors in need!

Costa Mesa, CA — Our annual Family Service Night went virtual this year, as over 300 parents and kids participated in our first At Home! event. Families, small groups of classmates, and Scout troops spent the evening together at home assembling over 2,000 hygiene kits, diaper kits, shaving kits and snack bags for our neighbors in need.

They later joined a Zoom discussion on homelessness in our community with SOS CEO Christy Ward, and a lively Q&A with staff where families learned more about Share Our Selves and the services we provide to the community, and additional ways to get involved. We were so impressed with the thoughtful questions the children asked, and their creative ideas to help assist our homeless population.

Although we are looking forward to the time when we can welcome families back onsite to volunteer with us, our virtual event gave participants the flexibility to complete the projects at their convenience, and we received a unanimous request to hold another event later this year. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated items.

Stay tuned for details and date for our Summer Service Night!
