Holiday Support for Single Parent Families
This holiday season please consider a small donation to help iCMAD provide gifts for single parent families facing economic hardship including 20 families at the Farrell Elementary School in PA, where 97.9% of the students face economic challenges and 20 teen parents and their children at Plainfield High School in NJ. Even a few dollars will go a long way!
We kindly ask for your support in our mission to assist single parents families.

Pass The Purse Please
...is a wellness-focused program geared at giving women, particularly single parents, a hand up by providing them with much-needed support and resources.
Every woman…
-
Participate in a fun activity designed to promote emotional wellness in a supportive and uplifting environment.
-
Receive a purse that contains beauty products, hygiene items, and other essentials that they may find helpful in their everyday lives.
-
Have the opportunity to pay it forward by spreading kindness and hope to other women by creating a card of encouragement for future participants.
Our goal is to partner with local community organizations to serve at least 500 women in this program by December 2024!

JOIN OUR
Wednesday Evening
SINGLE-PARENTS Support Group
We meet every Wednesday from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. EST.
MEETING FORMAT:
-
Check-in [30 minutes]: Participants share whatever is on their mind, and receive support if needed—no pressure to share if you don't want to.
-
Enhancing Your Well-being [30 minutes]: Discussions focus on topics that impact the lives of parents and their children. Examples of past topics include self-sabotage, living with integrity, and self-care.
PLEASE NOTE: We prioritize supporting participants' needs over the planned topic, so we may not always get to the Enhancing Your Well-being discussion.
Interested in attending, and have questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at: info@icanmakeadifferencenow.org.
