CORAZON
Each year, members of St. George's congregation travel to Baja, California to participate in the Corazon house-building program.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
During 2004, members of St. George's joined Bishop Jon Bruno and 400 other members of the Episcopal Churches of Orange County to clean, trim, paint and do whatever else needs to be done to keep several elderly and disabled persons in their homes. This Clean & Fix: Improving Housing for the Elderly and Disabled project serves as a fundraiser for the Episcopal Churches of Orange County effort, in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity, to build a house for a needy family. Organized like a walk-a-thon, participants will solicit sponsorship with the goal of raising the $100,000 required for the Habitat for Humanity house building. Contact the parish office, (949) 837-4530, for more details.
