COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Periodically, the Anaheim Ducks recognize a nonprofit in Southern California for their outstanding efforts in the community.
You Are Special (YAS)
The Anaheim Ducks are proud to name You Are Special (YAS) as our Community Spotlight for the month of June. The Ducks have formed a special relationship with YAS by their participation in our Charity Ticket Program, a program that gives nonprofits the opportunity to attend Ducks games and Honda Center events at no cost to them. During the month of June, Anaheim Ducks, Honda Center and The RINKS staff will volunteer their time at the You Are Special Food Pantry, helping to pack and distribute food to those in need in the surrounding Orange County community.
YAS is a 501(c)(3) that was started in 2002 when a small group of concerned Orange residents began gathering food, often from their own pantries, and distributing it to homeless individuals living on the streets. The program quickly grew in response to the great demand from people who simply needed to eat. YAS was incorporated in 2009. Their mission is to alleviate hunger in the City of Orange and nearby communities by operating a food pantry and by providing other safety net services, such as hotel vouchers, clothing and gas cards. In addition to Orange, they serve residents from the cities of El Modena, Santa Ana, Tustin, Villa Park and Anaheim. They serve anyone who requests food, no questions asked.
