Spent time to fix the flat tire for which I had taken my bike to the shop; but also fixed the gears and adjusted them. 3. Alex, an Asian-American gentleman who speaks Spanish. He was the shift manager. May the Bicycle Tree continue to prosper and attract good customers, such as Russell. And may good and decent folks, such as Gene, continue to volunteer there. I will be there for sure in the future.

I found Orange County Rescue Mission and I love the support they provide for the community so I decided I wanted to give my donations to them. Orange County Rescue Mission is open Friday to Wednesday from 8am-5pm, Closed Thursdays. They have a convenient area for you to drive up, and their volunteers are super nice and will be more than happy to help you lift and unload your donations. Donation receipts available upon request.

I've previously had my donations picked up, or gone to donation bins, or dropped a few things off at Goodwill. Orange County Rescue Mission has a drive thru drop-off for your donations. I had 5 boxes, so a lovely gentleman brought a bin on wheels over and helped me put my boxes inside. He asked if I would need a receipt for my taxes but I politely declined. I do believe the items I donated had good value but I don't have much experience with taxes and previous receipts I've gotten usually end up missing by tax season. Prior to donating my things, I was able to go on their website and see exactly what items they accept. This helped a LOT because there were actually a lot of items I wouldn't have even considered donating like unused toiletries. I would probably try to give them to a family member or a friend of perhaps end up just tossing it away. I'm really glad they provide a list of acceptable items for donating!! I hope other people who wish to donate items really do READ lists such as this one, so they are aware of what can be donated. I just remembered people from my past who would try to donate opened foods, & insisted they were still good because they were non-perishables. Some people just don't know you can't donate ANYTHING. I don't understand people who donate things that they wouldn't use, if the same or similar item were donated to them (in the same manner). Some behaviors are perplexing. Anyway!! I LOVE this place and I'm currently working on filling up another 3 boxes. I'll have to go buy some more boxes so I can start sorting through my storage unit as well!! I do have a few questions on some items and what condition they must be in to be accepted for donation. I'm pretty sure they had a number on the same page that I could call and ask, which I will be doing, just haven't gotten around to it yet! I'm really happy I found this place & recommend others to donate items & volunteer here if they have the time! (:

Make sure you login to the website and checkout locations and dates and register yourself for openings. It's great to come with family, friends or coworker. They have many different ways you can volunteer your time or just put a shoebox together and drop it off at a processing location. We had a good time joining a team on the floor and were given a little training and we went to work for a couple of hours. My first job was to scan shoe boxes that people had donated and wanted it tracked. It was kinda boring as those were infrequent so I switched over to checking shoe boxes that were donated making sure they didn't have certain items not permitted in the box. After awhile I switch to taping boxes shut after the inspection process which worked out fine as I was constantly working. Checkout the website and see how you can help. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/volunteer-network/

So my family first started participating in this organization's Operation Christmas Child a few…read moreyears ago and it's now become a family tradition with us even filling up shoe boxes at home to bring to the processing center and volunteering at the actual processing center. For those who aren't familiar with Sumaritan's Purse, they are a Christian-base nonprofit that provides aids to areas of need here in the U.S and third world countries. They were actually one of the first responders to bring aid to rural areas that were hit by a big typhoon in Central Vietnam in 2017. Air lifting over 200,000 POUNDS of supplies to the villagers who have lost everything. Operation Christmas Child is one of their projects that takes place from Nov-Dec. You can watch one of their videos of this operation on YouTube. Which was how I found them actually. The idea is that you take a shoe box and decorate it and fit anything you can into a shoe box for a child in a third world country (socks, soap, toothbrushes, hair brushes, a small toy, pens, pencil).And then you can drop off the shoe boxes at their processing center by a certain deadline (and if you pay for a tracking label) you can track where your shoe box may end up. OR you can sign up to volunteer during the holidays at the processing center to inspect the shoe boxes or even stuff shoe boxes (companies donate supplies that you can put into boxes). The whole operation is so efficient , to watch one group inspect, one group stuff more gifts in light boxes, one group tape and one group organize the shoeboxes into bigger boxes with tracking labels is really a sight to behold. EVERYONE that you come across are EXCEEDINGLY nice and gracious, from the parking attendant, to the front desk/lobby people to the people running the warehouse. I do understand how Sumaritan's Purse could come as "too much" for people who are not Christians who wants to help. However, I think this organization is truly doing something not just special but extremely meaningful that could change a child's life in a small village some where in the world. With a simple gift from a stranger a world away, to let the child know that they matter, and you you could also include a letter if you wish. Sumaritan's Purse really goes out of their way to deliver the shoeboxes into rural areas often times using elephants to do so! Operation Christmas Child only goes on from Nov to mid Dec (before Christmas because they have to get the shoeboxes out of the U.S. before than)! Cheers!

Visited with friends on a Sunday afternoon. I fully expected this to be a very boring experience,…read morebut was proven quite wrong. While including an educational twist, this place has lots of interaction available. We had 3 children (4th-5th grade), and even they were entertained while learning. The house allows for some interaction, which as great! The blacksmith performance was enticing. Two thumbs up to the arts and craft area (I think her name was Jasmine). She was fantastic with the kids. She answered all their questions and helped ensure they were having fun. The paths and displays on the grounds were peaceful and perfect. The kids loved seeing the chickens and koi, as well as the gardens and old machinery. Definitely recommend this place.

"Storytime", an hour of song, story, and coordinated art projects for pre-schoolers and their mothers and fathers. Sponsored by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and Soco and the OC Mix. It was an hours event on Monday from 1-2pm (and is held every 2 weeks). The first half hour is a sing session with the sensational Christa Mae (www.christamae.com) who sings and plays popular nursery rhymes on her guitar. She's very entertaining and engaging. 1 book is then read followed by a craft. The craft supplies are provided by the center. There are chairs and blankets on the floor for kids and parents to sit on. Very well organized FREE event and lots of fun for little ones! Tickets - Get your free tickets on Eventbrite
