GrowOC Projects

The OC21 Foundation was established in 1988 to build a thriving, engaged, and vibrant community in Orange City. Over the past 35 years, they have received over $700,000 from Orange City Municipal Utilities customers. These donations — some as little as $5 a month — have financially helped all of these projects and more! As we move toward the future, the initiative will go by the name “GrowOC.”
