Friendly Center is a comprehensive family and community resource center dedicated to improving the lives of children, adults, and seniors by helping them move toward self-sufficiency through immediate aid and a variety of educational and life skill programs.
Friendly Center began in 1924 by a men’s community bible study to help local farm workers. Today, Friendly Center has expanded to help thousands of families each year to keep their children safe, stable, and secure. Our vision is to bring an end to poverty in the unseen parts of Orange County.
Friendly Center offers more than 20 free programs to over 1,000 low-income families each year. This wide range of programs helps support struggling families that come to us with their different situations and needs. Our goal is to provide stability and develop long-term solutions for families to get back on their feet.
