Back-to-School: Donate to Help Support Single Moms in Calgary
Single Mom Strategies is a new Calgary-based non-profit organization helping single mothers facing various poverty-related barriers. By providing access to essential needs and connecting families to resources and community, SMS hopes to empower mothers and their children through poverty reduction, mental health support, housing, and food security.
Right now, SMS is hosting a fundraiser through Canada Helps for back-to-school. As most parents know, the costs associated with the supplies needed for school can add up quickly. SMS is collecting donations to purchase new backpacks and school supplies for single-family households that could use some additional support. Your donation will ensure kids can head back-to-school worry-free. If you are able, please donate today.
Additionally, if you or a single mom you know is in need of some extra help, the Single Mom Strategies website provides links to a variety of resources available throughout Calgary. From emergency childcare and housing support to legal aid and children’s social services, there is a wealth of information available to anyone who needs it.
