The proceeds from the event will go directly toward the current and future families who seek shelter from Thomas House to ensure the availability of vital resources and help beat the cycle of homelessness. Since 1986, Thomas House Family Shelter has served the Orange County community by providing a safe, supportive environment for families experiencing homelessness and at-risk families.

This night of giving will feature special guest speakers, silent auction and musical entertainment. As the Gala celebrates the success of Thomas House, the event will also provide a reflection on their history. The program will be a nostalgic look back at Thomas House Family Shelter, highlighting the monumental progress that has been achieved. The evening will honor founders Mary & Bernie Selz and the legacy they have built over the last 35 years.

"Bernie and I scattered the seeds. They grew and flourished because of the hundreds of people who watered and cared for them with their love, prayers, financial support and millions of volunteer hours" said Mary Selz.
