The Hub Resource Center

The HUB Resource Center (HRC) originated in 2022 in response to a call from the city of Orange seeking assistance for the unhoused population. The HUB OC, already known for its community support through programs like Full Circle Market Place and the Youth Center of Orange, readily agreed to help. The HRC initially operated from the roadside using mobile units and EZ-ups, providing hot meals, showers, and laundry appointments. Within two years, the HRC expanded significantly, now serving over 200 individuals and families daily. In addition to its original services, the HRC has broadened its offerings to include housing navigation, medical, dental, and vision services, social groups, art therapy, mail services, device charging, and clothing services. The HRC operates under the motto "compelled to create change," striving to eliminate barriers and help individuals thrive by providing services with dignity and love.

Through our partnership with the City of Orange and Friends Church our mission is to help meet the needs of the unhoused population to bring holistic hope, healing, transformation and freedom to those who want to be made well and ultimately see them saved and off the streets.

One of the ways we see this work is by having a central location where each individual receives wraparound care six days a week. We’re open Monday-Friday from 7am-1pm and Saturday 9am-1pm, rain or shine! We serve up 185 unhoused individuals everyday seeking to meet their basic needs. Daily we offer up to 60 shower appointments, 25 laundry appointments, and serve breakfast and a hot lunch. We also offer services through our partner organizations that include medical, dental, vision care, mental health intervention, rehab programs, and housing services. We also love to have fun so we have cards and board games and bring out the karaoke machine often! Joy and celebration is a big part of who we are!
