🎁12 Days of Wellness & Giving 🎁
The 12 Days of Wellness & Giving is a daily invitation to care for your mental health while giving hope to others in our community. Each day features a simple wellness prompt, a thoughtful gifting theme, and an opportunity to support the life-changing programs and services of NAMI Orange County.
Your generosity helps fund free mental health education, peer-led support groups, warmline services, and community outreach for individuals and families affected by mental health conditions—ensuring no one has to navigate their journey alone.
This campaign also supports NAMIWalks 2025, our largest annual fundraising event. We’re just 3% away from reaching our $250,000 goal, and every gift—big or small—moves us closer to the finish line.
Together, we can turn wellness into action, compassion into impact, and giving into lasting support for mental health across Orange County.
