Santa Ana-based MOMS needs Holiday help

Santa Ana, Calif. – With requests at an all-time high, the maternal-child health nonprofit MOMS seeks support for its 2024 Adopt-a-Family holiday program. MOMS programs are aimed at families impacted by poverty and barriers to care which can lead to impaired maternal and infant health outcomes.

Available through mid-November, individuals, companies or families can adopt MOMS families in need of assistance during the holiday season. Donors can review family profiles and select a specific family to adopt. Gift cards are then provided to families to purchase gifts and basic necessities such as food, clothing and household items.

The families chosen for the Adopt-a-Family program are selected by MOMS maternal-child health workers and health educators as those most in need. Every family includes expectant or brand-new parents and many have single mothers facing housing insecurity.

Thousands have been served since the program’s inception and new families are added to the site regularly. MOMS hopes to serve 130 families this holiday season. This year’s campaign is underwritten by US Bank and the deadline to adopt a family is November 15.
