MOMS Orange County

It is with profound gratitude that we express our heartfelt appreciation to all who participated in our MOMS Adopt-a-Family program this year.

The giving season started with generous donations of:

🍗 Fifteen $100 grocery gift cards that we were able to gift to families for Thanksgiving meals.
🚍 Ten $50 bus passes to distribute to those needing transportation.

It continued with gifts exceeding expectation to bless those in our Adopt-a-Family program. In total, thanks to you, we served a record:

👪 137 families
🎁 576 individuals

The final gifts blessed 45 families in Ms. Gaby's classes with individual bags of books, toys, diapers and snacks.

In this season of giving and reflection, the generosity of so many shines as a powerful reminder that love and community are the greatest gifts of all. We are so grateful for our MOMS community.

Wishing you all peace, love and happiness into the new year!

Thank you Newport Coast Child Development Preschool (NCCDP), parent leader Connie Pavlovich and MOMS Board Member Kathy O'Donnell for the individual gift bags for our Mommy & Me classes!

The age appropriate, festive gifts thoughtfully included a baby book, developmental toy, baby food and more with diapers and additional toys to go along with them.

We are so grateful to all of the NCCDP families that participated in bringing some holiday joy to our moms and babies.

There were loads of laughs with JP leading the way at our MOMS staff holiday party.

From a very active and competitive human Christmas tree decorating contest to a slightly contentious gift exchange - and of course, a delicious potluck - it was a time to celebrate the successes of the year and enjoy each other's company.

Wishing all of our MOMS staff some time to relax, refresh and enjoy good cheer with family and friends over the holidays.

Don't fret, the fun won't end with 2025 - a brand-new series of classes kicks off in January!
