Mercy House Orange County

We're reaching out to our community supporters to ask for cleaning supplies to help our permanent housing residents keep their apartments clean and comfortable! If you're interested in donating, please contact [email protected].

Thank you for helping us combat homelessness!

Happy Monday! Meet Yolanda Viarmontes, OC Emergency Services Regional Director.

WHAT IS A RANDOM FACT ABOUT YOU?
I have never flown on a plane and I used to be a break-dancer back in the day.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF YOUR JOB?
My favorite part of my job is being a part of something way bigger than myself. Being a part of helping someone along through their journey of ending their homelessness.

WHAT IS YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION?
I don't really do New Year Resolutions; I believe everyday should be an opportunity to learn and grow to be a better version of who I was yesterday!

Thank you for all of your hard work Yolanda! You’re helping us in the fight to end homelessness!🏠❤

Happy Monday!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR JOB?

Volunteering is currently on hold, but there are other options if you’re wanting to get a group together to help out our most vulnerable population!🍎

Breakfast packs are a simple and extremely beneficial donation that make a BIG impact on our clients. Grab your friends, small group, or get together with your church or school and put them together! In a brown paper bag or freezer-sized Ziploc bag you should include…
An apple
A granola bar or breakfast bar (Kind bar, Belvita, Chewy, etc.)
A water bottle
Optional: An encouraging note!

Help us set up our clients for a day of success in ending their homelessness with a balanced breakfast! To get started, reach out to Toni Corsaut, Community Engagement Specialist, at [email protected] for more info!🏠❤
