Back to School

During June and July, A Mom’s Helping Hand of SWFL is conducting a school supply drive.
Every child deserves to have the best educational opportunities possible, but many lack the tools needed to succeed. In 2016, the average family spent $103.94 on school supplies for students in grades K-12. Low-income single parents, who already lack discretionary income, are faced with the decision between buying school supplies or using the money to pay the power bill or rent, or to put food on the table. Our goal is to provide children of single parents with the supplies they need to allow them to succeed this school year.

We need your help to make our annual school supply collection a success. You can help by donating school supplies from June 15th – July 22nd and/or by making a monetary donation. School supplies will be used to help students of single parents.
