Core offering

Power of One Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates a portfolio of volunteer-run charitable programs centered on food recovery and redistribution, family and youth support, women's empowerment, and international aid. Its Hunger Program collects surplus food from restaurant partners (Olive Garden, Chipotle, McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut, Krispy Kreme, HMS International) and distributes it to approximately 1,000 individuals per month via drive-through distributions and partner agencies across Orange County and surrounding Southern California counties. Additional offerings include annual toy and holiday giveaways, COVID-19 emergency food and diaper assistance, a Mariachi Mastery music scholarship for youth, a Kids First LA wildfire response campaign, and an Africans for Africa clean water initiative, all funded by individual donations and corporate sponsorships.

Product overview

Power of One Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating as a single integrated charitable entity focused on fighting hunger and poverty in Orange County, California and internationally. The foundation offers multiple community service programs organized under six main initiatives: Family Support (Hunger Program, Halloween Program, Christmas Toy Program, COVID-19 Emergency Assistance, Diaper Assistance), Youth Initiative (Birthdays Matter Program, Arts 4 Social Justice/J4U, Mariachi Mastery Scholarship Program), Women Empowerment, Global Outreach, Special Events (9-11 Remembrance, Back 2 School Drive), and the Kids First LA Wildfire Response Campaign. All programs are funded through donations with 100% of contributions going directly to community services.
