2020 Unsung Heroes of the Year Awards
Our Unsung Hero of the Year awards call out and acknowledge people from our partner agencies who go above and beyond – those who are tirelessly working day in and day out to end homelessness in our community.
It takes more than talk to ensure that our community’s children, families and individuals have access to stable housing. It takes people of action. Their compassion, devotion and passion shine through in all that they do, and they deserve to be recognized.
We thank the following nominated men and women who have made extraordinary contributions in helping champion our cause of inspiring hope and ending homelessness in Orange County.
