In January 2026, our newest and perhaps most innovative program MNC Open Arms provided rapid emergency assistance to 17 families experiencing financial hardship. Families were provided with basic needs; $200-$300 food gift cards for warm prepared meals, clothing and shoes for 14 children from three months to 14-year-olds and hygiene care packages!


“The clothing assistance for my daughter brought a smile to my face during these very difficult times. We are very grateful for all the support and effort that MNC provided to us. Thank you for the great blessing!” The Diaz Family


“I’m expressing my sincere gratitude for your recent donation of clothes to my daughter and me. Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated! Not just for my family but all the families who just need a little help.” - The Tellez Family


“The clothing and shoes for my two boys means a lot to me and my kids. I love the endless support for us, Thank you!” - Anonymous Family



Editor’s note: Open Arms is first time all 21 MNC campuses and 251 team members, can do the same thing to help families who need rapid assistance. Community support with funds and supplies is growing daily.

MNC Family Services hosted 16 mothers for a "Discovering Motherhood" workshop in collaboration with the Mexican Consulate in San Francisco, presented by the Education Window through Doulas Care Latin American Association. The topics include what is a doula?, what are the benefits, support, and resources available during pregnancy?, what are the benefits available through their health insurance?, and how to create a birth plan at any hospital or clinic wherever they choose to give birth.

We were able to gift the expecting mothers' diaper bags filled with essential items for their newborn babies, and a few mothers also received stroller sets. They expressed how grateful they were to receive these items during a time of need. We look forward to meeting the little ones!

We held a Department of Education (DEC) observation for our Parent Child Interactive group for 2–5-year-olds. Each child received a piece of paper with shapes, and they had to match the cut-out shapes with the one on the paper and glue them. After that, they practiced tracing and drawing the different shapes, coloring them, and also cutting the shapes. This activity was done so children can practice their fine motor skills.



Parents were able to sit with their children to help them practice saying the names of the shapes as well as helping them practice using the tools provided. This was a great bonding experience, and we highly recommend parents practice these types of activities at home with their children regularly to support their development and get them ready for school.
