You are an integral part of our Program, and it is because of your generous support that we can deliver on our mission. There are many ways to get involved, but if you have a unique talent that we haven’t thought of yet, please contact us.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart,
not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver
Praying and Sharing
We believe in the power of prayer and that this Program is in God’s hands. Join us in praying that our Program and its volunteers, donors, employees, mentors, and the families we serve, prosper beyond their wildest dreams.
Share our Program with your friends and family. We know they’ll love it as much as we do! Invite them to our Events, share our FaceBook page, tell them how they can impact a single mom and her kids. Use this flyer to spread the word.
Gift Cards
We all feel the increase in prices at the gas pump and grocery store. Sometimes our moms just need a little extra help to fill the gas tank or provide a meal for their family. We try to keep gift cards on hand to provide just-in-time aid when they fall short. Consider donating gas or grocery gift cards to local stores, in any amount.
Donate Goods
Food Shelf: We are always accepting non-perishable food items, paper goods, cleaning supplies, school supplies, baby supplies. Gluten free items are also appreciated.
School Supplies: School supply shopping can be daunting when living on a tight budget. Consider donating back packs and other school supplies.
Used Vehicles: Do you have a used car in good condition? Our moms often find themselves in a tough situation if their car repairs become too costly or it simply no longer runs. A “new” used car can be a huge blessing for our families.
Fundraising Event Prizes: We typically hold at least 2 fundraising events each year and attendees can buy raffle tickets for a chance to win fun prizes. If you, or your company, have items that would do well as a raffle ticket prize, send them our way! Additionally, our event attendees love to win tickets to sporting events, the theater, festivals, wine tastings, and more. Gift certificates for goods, services, a spa day, golfing, dinners, and more are always a hit.
Other Items: If you have another item you wish to donate, reach out to our office to see if there is an immediate need. Due to storage limitations, we are unable to store large quantities of items. However, if God is tugging on your heart strings, please contact us.
Holiday Adopt A Family
Each family creates a Christmas wish list for you to shop and bless their Holiday. Families are usually adopted in early November. Please consider donating monetarily, or Gift Cards and Food Shelf items this Holiday season.
Volunteer
There are many ways to get involved, check out our Volunteer page for ideas.
Party with a Purpose
Spread the word! Introduce your friends and family to the M.O.M.S. Program at your next gathering. Invite friends to bring monetary donations, gift cards or pantry items to restock our food shelf. Partying is fun, but it’s even better when you have a purpose.
Use this flyer to share our Program.
Celebration and Memorial Donations
If you are celebrating a birthday, other event, or estate planning, consider asking friends and family to donate to the Program instead of buying you gifts or giving monetary donations directly to an estate. Our Give Now form allows Donors to honor the requestor’s name at time of contribution.
