PATH Orange County operates the Placentia Navigation Center, in partnership with the City of Placentia, which provides 100 beds for individuals experiencing homelessness in North Orange County. The Placentia Navigation Center is a low barrier interim housing facility that focuses on harm reduction and recuperative care. The site serves single men, single women, couples, and their pets.
We are eager to mobilize our supporters in a safe and virtual way, as PATH Orange County continues to work on the frontlines of this pandemic to support the most vulnerable in our community. Now, more than ever, individuals and families across California are faced with economic hardship, and in turn difficulties providing food for themselves and their families.
You can make a difference this holiday season by assembling Jingle Bags to enable us meet our goal to help everyone in our community – housed and unhoused – enjoy a special festive gift for the upcoming Holidays. I’ve attached our Holiday Opportunities Fact Sheet here with more information. Please share with your businesses, community groups, family, and friends.
To get started, here is more information on assembling a Holiday Jingle Bag:
Holiday Jingle Bags
Jingle Bags can be assembled at home in reusable tote bags, gift bags or drawstring bags. We encourage you to also include a handwritten note of support and holiday cheer. Please check out our Jingle Bags Wish List for ideas of what to include.
Urgent Needs:
· Cold weather items (beanies, blankets, sweats, etc.)
· New hygiene products
· Festive treats and snacks
· Gift cards – Marshall’s, Old Navy, Walmart, etc.
· Holiday toys for Pets
*For health and safety reasons, all donated items must be new & unopened.
Items can be purchased via our Amazon Wish List, shipped to our office, or delivered in person. You also have the option to purchase from this wish list to send items directly to PATH for our team to assemble into kits!
Contactless Delivery Options
We are asking for all Jingle Bags to be delivered to PATH by Tuesday, December 18th to allow time for distribution to those most in need.
