I would like to introduce you to another Orange County Rescue Mission superhero volunteer: Cricket Hong!

Every Thursday afternoon, Cricket Hong ends her busy work day as a Judicial Assistant for the Santa Ana Courthouse by joining Orange County Rescue Mission for our Chili Van Outreach to the homeless, just down the street from the courthouse. Without fail, Cricket is there to help serve chili and bread to the hundreds of people that are homeless and seeking a warm meal.

She has faithfully dedicated herself over the years to the Chili Van Outreach. Cricket’s dedication to serving makes a big impact in many ways. We can always count on Cricket to get new volunteers excited and ready to serve! She even brings her own supplies to help serve and clean, just in case anything has been forgotten or gone missing.

Cricket doesn’t just serve food; she also takes it upon herself to reach out and talk to people who may need help. You can find her in crowds of people with flyers and newsletters in hand, kindly explaining the services available through Orange County Rescue Mission. Cricket’s desire to see homeless people get off of the streets is inspirational.

Thank you for your service Cricket!
