HMOC 2022 ANNUAL

I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude for our incredible community and I must share my immense love and appreciation for everything our staff, volunteers, and supporters like you do to keep Heritage Museum of Orange County fulfilling our mission every day.

Thanks to YOU, in 2022 we were able to:

 Bring back our Kellogg House field trips in full capacity

 Start HMOC’s first ever docent program

 Rebuild our blacksmith shop, now fully operational and offering courses

 Revive our hydroponics and children’s gardens

 Establish new partnerships and programming with our friends at Haunted Orange County, OC Sanitation District, and Orange County Health Care Agency

 Receive a $69,000 grant for our project in partnership with Educate to Empower, UCI Libraries,

OC Human Relations, CSUF, and the authors of People’s Guide to Orange County to create An Educator’s Guide to Orange County Diversity

We simply could not do ANY of this work without your support! These last few days of the year are a critical time for nonprofits to raise funds, and I’m writing to ask a favor:

Can you chip in a few dollars to our end-of-year campaign? 

With your help, we will use these funds to provide a safe community space for thoughtful conversation and a platform for our community members to celebrate their heritage and educate our community.

Our programs, events, and offerings will continue to grow strong in 2023 and we can’t wait to share it all

with YOU! Some fun plans we have ahead include:

 Summer of Civil Rights exhibition opening June 2023

 Return of Gold Rush field trips

 First ever HMOC book club

 Brand new *FREE* community events and programming

Please help us kick off the New Year with support for these exciting plans designed just for YOU!

Thank you for being a part of our ever-growing HMOC family. We’re grateful to share our grounds, our hearts, and our mission with you!

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and sparkly 2023! We can’t wait to continue this meaningful journey with you by our side!
