In Brief

ORANGE COAST COLLEGE -- A special Mother’s Day celebration will encompass

moms outside the immediate family. The OCC Care Club will bring special

baskets to mothers who live at Heritage House, a residential treatment

and recovery center.

Some members of the Care Club hold the outing close to their hearts

because they have lived in similar residential treatment centers. Many

members serve as role models as they share their own stories of

struggling through unfortunate situations and how they rose above it.

All club members take steps to support low-income single parents on

campus and within the community. So far, the club has gathered enough

items to fill 20 baskets. Members are seeking unused donations of makeup,

toiletries, snacks, toys and other small items to fit in a care basket.
