- Can’t wait to see you next year!
Thank you for joining us for our 2020 Labor of Love Luncheon!
Our community came together to give expecting and parenting families facing poverty, the support and love that all families deserve when welcoming a child.
We are still counting and additional gifts and matches are coming in, but we couldn’t wait to share that together we raised $199,000!

Your labor has filled us with joy & love! Your contributions will give parents like Ana, the support of a skilled community-based doula like Betty during the life-changing time before, during, and after birth. Thank you for your generosity and investment in our work!
If you want to relive the magic, please watch the film below by devondeleña.com.
Thank you Betty Hernandez (Community -Based Outreach Doula) and Ana Alcanzar (featured parent) for sharing your story!
Our work creates the possibility for each family we serve to meet the challenges of life with courage and resiliency. Open Arms provides free, community-based, support during pregnancy, birth, and early parenting to nurture strong foundations that last a lifetime.
If you were not able to attend this year but still want to support, please:
