In-home caregivers from across Orange County gathered on Wednesday, April 29, at Asian Garden Mall to rally in support of the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program and educate the public—including local business owners– to urge the Orange County Board of Supervisors to invest in care work. Over 250 people came out to support these vital care workers, and many local business owners put up signs of support in their windows.
