Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Support Group Meetings
Our moms meet twice a month for support, encouragement and fellowship. It is such an important aspect of being a single mom to know you are not alone.
Birthday Boxes
Each month our committee will assemble birthday bags filled with the essentials needed to give kids with a birthday in that month a fun celebration: hats, streamers, plates, tablecloth, gift card for a cake and a birthday gift from our inventory of new toys.
Bare Necessities
The Bare Necessities program provides families with a supply of most-needed household items that are used in the home daily.
Social Events
We host quarterly kid friendly events at fun venues around SWFL. This gives the kids a chance to meet other kids that go through the same challenge that comes with being raised by a single mom.
Christmas Assistance
Families are matched with community members and organizations that wish to adopt the single mom and her children for Christmas.
Financial Assistance
This program helps with those unforeseen emergencies that make it near impossible to pay bills during a time of crisis. This is for temporary assistance when it is truly needed and when funds are available.
Training Classes
We offer practical skills training in areas such as budgeting, resume writing, interview skills and more.
School Supplies
Between school clothes and supplies the costs add up. In an effort to give our moms a little breathing room and make sure every student is prepared the first day back to school.
Referrals
Referral network to help single mother families find the resources they need in their community.
