Tomorrow brings a real opportunity for Illumination Health + Home: We’re working with 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐎𝐂 on a Claude Impact Lab, hosted at EvoNexus, Irvine.

Builders from across Orange County are giving their Saturday to help us tackle challenges we face every day and prototype possible solutions that could help more people reach care, connect clients with the right resources and next steps, and build our frontline staff’s confidence using AI.

We’re grateful to 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐎𝐂 and EvoNexus for hosting, and for this opportunity to dig into how we can improve our work and help more people. Days like this move us closer to 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴.

For one night, they aren’t kids waiting for stability. They’re superheroes, princesses, and their favorite characters.

This Halloween, help us give 50 children in our Family Emergency Homes that same feeling. We’re collecting new or gently used costumes for children ages 0–17, with the greatest need for ages 6–15.

Donations will be accepted through Wednesday, October 21. To ask a question or schedule a drop-off, contact [email protected].

Thank you for helping children and families in our community enjoy the fun and excitement of Halloween.

Ten years ago, Theriault House opened as our first Family Emergency Home, built in partnership with HomeAid Orange County Los Angeles. Yesterday, at our annual Women’s Philanthropy Luncheon, we celebrated a decade of giving families a safe place to land.

In 10 years, Theriault House alone has welcomed 266 families: 933 people, 574 of them children. Today, five additional Family Emergency Homes carry that work forward.

Every one of those numbers is someone who found safety, hope, and a home. Watch their story.

With Thanks To Our Partners and Supporters:
The Haynes Fund, SHAH Family Foundation , Bickerstaff Family Foundation, West Coast University , Farmers & Merchants Bank , and Cooper Housing Institute.

A day filled with creativity, mindfulness, and connection at Shah Happiness Home! 🎨💙

Volunteers Joan K., Elizabeth, and Debbie spent time with children and parents painting rocks for the garden and making colorful Fruit Loop bracelets. They also provided a delicious meal for everyone to enjoy, including fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, salad, and desserts.

To complete the day, Elizabeth led a meditation session that gave families a peaceful moment to relax and practice mindfulness together.

We are so grateful to our volunteers for sharing their time and kindness with our families!

Good food and meaningful connection made for a memorable summer day! ☀️💙

Last month, volunteers from the Diocese of Orange hosted summer BBQs for clients and families at our Carnegie Navigation Center, Fullerton Navigation Center, and Murphy House, one of our Family Emergency Homes.

Volunteers grilled and served hamburgers and hot dogs alongside chips, sides, and cookies, giving everyone an opportunity to enjoy a meal and spend time together.

Thank you to the Diocese of Orange and each volunteer who helped create such a warm and welcoming experience for our community!

Creating comfort, one home at a time. ❤️

Thanks to a generous donation from the Shah Family, new rugs are helping make our Children & Families Emergency Homes feel warmer, more welcoming, and a little more like home.

Thoughtful touches like these can make a meaningful difference for the families we serve. We are so grateful to the Shah Family for their continued kindness and support. 🏠
