Building Brighter Futures... One Child At A Time

We are honored to announce the establishment of Monarch's Gift, a nonprofit organization created in 2022 dedicated to preserving the legacy of Mary Ann H. Her kind and gentle spirit has inspired us to give back to our community. Mary Ann loved working with children so to honor her we have chosen to help children in various ways with school supplies, gifts during the holiday season and much more.

Together, we can ensure Mary Ann's memory continues to inspire and create positive change.

We have partnered with the Women's Shelter of Long Beach, We Care, Olive Crest and a local Wells Fargo for various drives including a school supply drive and a holiday toy drive.  Monarch’s Gift gathers school supplies and toy donations to help families in need all throughout the year.  We have collected school supplies from Staples and the community to donate to various schools.  We have donated gift cards to Prisk Elementary and Stanford Middle School in Long Beach for the 2024/2025 school year.  Also Olive Crest and The Women’s Shelter of Long Beach received gifts cards too.  For the holiday season we receive toy donations to help the local community to spread joy and make a child’s holiday special.

We would like to invite others to join us as a valued partner in our mission  Your support could take many forms including financial contributions, in-kind donations and sponsorship opportunities.  

Our latest endeavor is to give scholarships and technology access to well deserving college students in the community. Every student going into college and or trade school deserves a chance to achieve their dreams of a better future.  

Together, we can bridge the gap in educational resources by offering scholarships and supplying tablets/laptops to students, empowering them to reach their full potential. 

Another way we are looking to give back is with a variety of technology devices for children with learning disabilities.  These devices will enable children to communicate and learn confidently in their everyday school lives. The devices can be tailored to each child’s unique needs, helping them to engage more effectively with their studies and their peers.

We received a generous grant from the John W Porter Trust to fulfill this project.  Their investment in our work will impact so many kids lives and we are so grateful!
