Every ticket purchased goes directly to Christ Kaleidoscope's Jubilee Fund, which provides one-time grants and zero interest loans to the young adults of HIS-OC.

About the Jubilee Fund

Christ Kaleidoscope's Jubilee Fund is inspired by the Year of Jubilee, a biblical concept from Leviticus 25, in which God calls the Israelites to forgive all debt, return property to its original owners, and liberate their servants. These mechanisms free the poor from poverty’s shackles and beckon the Israelites to become a community marked by neighborly care and opportunity for all. In Luke 4, Jesus announces that he has been sent to the world to usher in “the year of the Lord’s favor,” a direct reference to the Year of Jubilee.

Jubilee is God’s firm challenge to the world’s social and economic inequality, which is marked by a chasm between those who live with abundance, cushion, and choice and those who live in poverty’s death grip. According to Pulitzer-Prize winning sociologist Matthew Desmond, “poverty is about money, of course, but it is also a relentless piling on of problems… Poverty is often material scarcity piled on chronic pain piled on incarceration piled on depression piled on addiction–on and on it goes.” This crushing pile of afflictions is nearly impossible to escape, as it is perpetuated by systems and hearts marked by fear and insatiable greed.

Jubilee offers a competing social vision–one where a divinely-ordained reset button is pressed, and suddenly, poverty’s compounding pile of suffering is lifted! This alternative vision offers all people new lives of possibility and freedom. In the practice of Jubilee, God calls us to a reimagined world that reflects God’s own generosity, compassion, and desire for all to flourish. 

About Homeless Intervention Services of Orange County (HIS-OC)

Homeless Intervention Services of Orange County (“HIS-OC”) runs a Transitional Aged Youth (“TAY”) program dedicated to helping 18-24 year olds in Orange County achieve stable housing and a better future. Many of these young adults have come out of the foster care system, which puts them at high risk for homelessness, education barriers, unemployment, poor mental and physical health, incarceration, and limited support. HIS-OC TAY is a 12-24 month program, where these young adults live in a HIS-OC managed home and receive weekly case management support while they attend college, trade school, or GED programs.
