OC Unemployment
Last Friday, May 21st, the State of California’s Employment Development Department cited that April’s unemployment rate in Orange County dropped to 9.5%, down from 10.1% in March. In addition, The Orange County Register reported on Friday that Esmael Adibi, a Chapman University economist, stated that many “people departed from the labor force so the lower unemployment wasn’t due to job growth.” He added, “There will be some more jobs created, but the pace is going to be very slow.”
In the last year, Orange County has lost 28,400 jobs, with the construction industry taking the brunt of job losses. Construction recorded the largest year-over decline with a loss of 12,700 jobs. On The Orange County Register blog, a blogger named Phil posted, “Both my brothers are in construction. Both of them are unemployed. Both of them would do anything to find work.”
Offering help, The Treasure Box provides affordable, monthly boxes of food to the Orange County community, allowing families and individuals to save money in these challenging economic times while making good and healthy eating choices.
A customer named Sherrie recently said that “This is a great service. Thank you.” Another customer named Lorraine stated that this is a “Wonderful program! Thank you so much!” Still another customer named David said, “Love the value and convenience” of The Treasure Box program.

A Taste of the Day!
A very successful Treasure Box Distribution Day! So many great things to report that we will be sharing it throughout the coming week. First distribution in Moorpark w/ over 900 boxes ordered. Will be posting videos on that in the coming days on our YouTube Channel. We also participated in the San Diego Cityfest Louis Palau event addressing Hunger. Wow...people were lined up since 6:30 a.m. & they knew the distribution wasn't even 'til 1 p.m.! Well that's just a taste of the day. Share more with you soon. Have a great & relaxing Sunday!
