50% of lone-parent families in BC live in poverty.
Most of these families are female led.
At Mom2Mom we improve the lives of children in poverty by supporting their moms. We do this by providing moms facing the dual challenges of poverty and solo-parenting with access to additional resources that make a big impact on family life.
From groceries and basic household items to extra-curricular activities for children and help during unforeseen emergencies, Mom2Mom gives moms access to a supportive community all year long. We know that children who have healthy, determined, well-supported moms can grow and thrive in spite of poverty-related stress.
When moms thrive, children thrive.
