Our Founder
George Folk
George Folk is the founder of Action Alliance Foundation and is well-known in the rooms of recovery throughout Orange County. George is an icon who has literally pulled people out from under bridges, behind dumpsters and off bus stops to place them into a sober living home. Although people do relapse and leave Action Alliance, George never gives up on anyone! He believes no matter how many times someone relapses, “if they are alive, they have a chance to get sober!”
