At any given time, low- to extremely low-income families in Orange County, California, face the threat of becoming homeless or unable to put food on the table due to an unexpected misfortune, a severe health issue, marital split, or job loss.

For many of these families, finding their way back to normalcy has been made possible by the work of Serving People in Need (SPIN), a Costa Mesa, California-based nonprofit dedicated to helping local residents with children get back on their feet.
