The 6th Annual OC Women2Women Food Drive, running September 1st - October 1st, helps people who are struggling with food insecurity. We are partnering with Where's The Party in Newport Beach to help collect food for The Lynn House which empowers women to renew and transform their lives in a nurturing and safe environment. OCW2W is dedicated to helping empower women facing difficult circumstances. By working together with community partners, we strive to create a brighter future for those in need.
