Many single moms have financial and/or family resources to help them get by. But for those who don’t, A Mom's Helping Hand of SWFL needs your help to give a helping hand.
We are small but MIGHTY…. And with your help we will tackle these HUGE needs one by one. Like you, we have big hearts and open arms. But we also need monetary donations. Support Group Meetings Bare Necessities Birthday Boxes School Supplies Social Events SWFL Santa's Training Classes |
Bare NecessitiesThe Bare Necessities program provides families with a supply of most-needed household items that are used in the home daily. You can donate household items for our moms by hosting a drive at you work or business. If you are a company and would like to be a drop off location for people in the community to drop off their donated items please contact us. To learn more about how Bare Necessities can help a single mom, read our blog post.

Birthday BoxesEach month the Helping Hands Kids 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, $20 gift card for a cake and a birthday gift from our inventory of new toys.
Help us make a child smile today. Contact us to arrange pick up of donated items for our birthday boxes or simply drop them in the mail. |
Single Mom Support Group
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.

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.

Families are matched with community members and organizations that wish to adopt the single mom and her children for Christmas.

Bills, bills, bills...any single mom knows the real financial hardship it creates. SWFL Pockets 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.
