Four cities.
One commitment.
Orange County is often pictured as a place of beaches and easy prosperity. That picture leaves out the communities at its heart: the dense, diverse, largely immigrant cities where families work hard, where businesses are built one storefront at a time, and where cultures from around the world have put down roots.
Our Places is the Sun Family Foundation’s commitment to four of those communities: Anaheim, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and Westminster. Together, they are home to more than 900,000 people and are among Orange County’s most multilingual and culturally rich communities — places of deep strength, resilience, and belonging, where opportunity has not always been evenly shared.
