Abrazar

What Abrazar does

Abrazar, Inc. is a California-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit community services organization headquartered in Westminster, California, founded in 1975 by Gloria Reyes, who continues to serve as CEO and Executive Director. The organization operates two community centers (Westminster headquarters and Midway City Community Center) and delivers a comprehensive portfolio of safety-net services to low-income seniors and families across Orange County. Core programs include Senior Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (SNEMT), congregate and home-delivered meals, USDA/CSFP/FEMA food distribution, an in-house dental clinic, ESL and computer literacy classes, the SparkPoint OC financial empowerment program, affordable housing assistance, ASES P.R.I.D.E. after-school and summer youth programs, free tax filing and ITIN assistance, and CalAIM Enhanced Care Management services delivered in partnership with CalOptima Health.

The organization is not technology-focused; its service infrastructure is built on a multilingual staff (English, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese) who reside within the communities served, supported by a transportation fleet with wheelchair-equipped vehicles operating six days a week across 16+ Orange County cities. Service delivery is anchored in two physical community centers plus mobile outreach, with no proprietary software platforms, app, or API integrations. Operational technology is limited to standard nonprofit tools (PayPal donation processing, internal database management, and a content-managed website).

Revenue derives from three primary streams: government contracts (notably with the Orange County Office on Aging since 1975 and CalOptima Health for CalAIM services), federal food programs (USDA, CSFP, FEMA), and individual donations through PayPal and check. The organization has acquired over $17 million in grants from foundations, corporations, and government sources over its history, with the Senior Non-Emergency Transportation program representing the largest single funding channel (creating $13M in funding and 100 jobs). End-user pricing is nominal or free for eligible populations; transportation carries a $2.00 donation per trip. Marketing and customer acquisition rely on community partnerships, school district collaborations, church networks, and word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid channels.
