Orangewood Foundation

On December 25th, John Friesen ventured south and personally visited the Orangewood Foundation in Orange, CA to deliver holiday gifts and toys directly to the young residents and their children.

In addition to hand-delivering presents on Christmas Day, the Friesen Foundation awarded Orangewood Foundation a financial gift as part of this special holiday initiative. The Foundation’s total support for this project was $15,000.

Orangewood Foundation serves youth and young adults who have experienced foster care, providing housing, life skills training, educational support, and critical resources to help them transition successfully into adulthood.

This hands-on visit reflects the heart of the Friesen Foundation’s mission — not only investing financially, but showing up personally to support young people during meaningful moments.
