“We are honored to receive this generous donation from HomeAid Essentials,” said MOMS Orange County CEO Pam Pimentel. “Donations such as this are the foundation of our organization. Without the support of community organizations like HomeAid Orange County, our mission to support at-risk mothers and families would not be possible.”
