                                           Our Story

 

Single moms and their children represent one of the most underprivileged segments in our society.  M.O.M.S. was created as a non profit to help provide for the needs and stabilization of these families.

 
M.O.M.S. is a faith-based mentoring program serving single moms and their children in Dakota County and surrounding areas since 1990.  We
provide one-to-one mentoring, education, personal support and community resources.

                                                                                                     

Who We Serve

Children of single parent families have higher incidences of learning problems, emotional and behavioral problems, social difficulties, and are more likely to be raised in poverty.

 

  • According to the US Census Bureau, one out of every two children in the United States will live in single parent family at some time before they reach age 18.Children raised in single parent families are 4 times more likely to experience learning problems, emotional, and behavioral problems.
  •  In 2007, 25% of the births in Dakota County, Minnesota were to single mothers.
  •  In the Minnesota state 2000 census, 30% of children living in single mother households were living below the poverty line.
