Proclamation
ORANGE CONGREGATIONS IN MISSIONS MONTH (OCIM)
November 2014
Whereas, Orange Congregations in Mission (OCIM) is a private non-profit ministry
composed of almost 50 congregations in northern Orange County; and
Whereas, OCIM is committed to providing a helping hand to those in our community
who are in need of assistance; and
Whereas, OCIM strives to meet the emergency needs of those who find themselves in
a crisis situation; and
Whereas, the OCIM mission is fulfilled by ministering to the needs of people who have
populated the small communities and rural areas of Orange County since 1981; and
Whereas, OCIM is committed to feeding the hungry, providing clothing and other
essentials through its Meals on Wheels and Food Pantry Ministries and Thrift Shop
Ministry; and
Whereas, other needs are met through its Samaritan Relief Ministry; and
Whereas, OCIM volunteers, staff, town and county governments contribute greatly to
the success of its programs;
NOW, THEREFORE, we, the Orange County Board of Commissioners, do proclaim
November 2014 to be OCIM Month and urge all community members to engage with
those in need through cheerful giving.
This the 18th day of November 2014.
