Motel Outreach - various
For thousands of people all over Southern California, a motel isn't a vacation, it's their life. For many families, the grandparents, parents and kids all live in one motel room. To see a quick video from one Southern California kid's life, watch this - https://vimeo.com/40017382. The kids grow up here and don't know anything except for motel life. Breakfast Together is a great outreach that allows your small group to visit a motel on a Sunday morning (Saturday from the Irvine campus), provide a breakfast for people living there, and show them hope. Next weekend July 14-15 a motel room is being constructed on the Lake Forest campus. You and your small group can tour a full-size replica of a motel room and see the space that thousands of families live in. For more information on how your small group can help share the love of Jesus Christ at a motel, send an email to breakfastoutreach@gmail.com. (Irvine Campus motel outreach: July, August.

Small group meals make a difference - Orange County
A meal is like a "thousand words of love" to a church family member in need. When a family or an individual who attend our church cannot make meals for themselves or for their family because they are recovering from a medical issue, or because of difficult circumstances, making and delivering a ready-to-eat meal can bring relief and show that we care as a church family. We have seventeen Meals Ministry Teams of volunteers around Orange County. If you think your Small Group would love to cook meals or prepare meals for someone in need, join us.
How your small group can join the Meals Ministry
Choose a "point person" to represent your Small Group to contact Allen Salibo at 949.609.8384 or allens@saddleback.com.
You (the Point Person) will be contacted by our Orientation Coach to be assigned to an existing Meals Ministry Team based on the city of your Small Group.
