On April 29, 2026, Deacons Larry, Anne, Ann, Nancy, Rita, Marti, and Jackie met with Amber Colopy, founder of The James Relief Project. Amber provided an overview of the nonprofit, located in downtown San Juan Capistrano. She shared handouts for our reference and for others who may benefit from its services, and she answered all our questions. Amber noted that the organization primarily serves South Orange County, because she feels fewer resources are available in this area than in the northern part of the county.
The James Relief Project has been in operation for about two years and is a program for adults seeking stability in their lives. Some of their clients come from Kathy’s House, Daniel’s House and Vera’s House. Amber says their aim is to be encouragers to help people connect with available resources, bridging the gap between need and access.
