HOPE. COURAGE. COMMUNITY.
|
Bearing the full responsibility of parenthood and provision for a family can be exhausting and often isolating. The Single Mom KC exists to offer the 61,000+ single mother families in the Kansas City metro area the opportunity to join us in hope-filled community.
When you partner with The Single Mom KC, you don’t have to wonder if you are making a difference. You are providing a place where moms receive healing and hope to pass on to their children and others. You are helping them write a new story and begin a trajectory of hope. |
Our Why
The Single Mom KC calls single moms to join us in community by providing resources and equipping their family to be restored into a better story.
In Kansas City, 46% of our children are growing up in single-parent homes,
compared to the national average of 34%
The poverty rate for children living in single mom families is 45.8%, more than 4x greater than that of children living in married couple families.
In September 2020, six months since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, 67.4% of unpartnered mothers with children younger than 18 at home were working – employed and on the job – compared with 76.1% in September 2019. This 9 percentage point drop is the largest among all groups of parents, partnered or not.
The Single Mom KC seeks to reverse these negative statistics and walk alongside the children and single moms of Kansas City to bring about positive outcomes for these families.

What Single Mothers are Saying
“I never knew the importance of life-giving community until I became involved with The Single Mom KC. Through Pursuit, I learned about forgiveness, self-care, boundaries, and leading our children through this tough journey. Various workshops taught me about healthy eating, grieving productively, and financial management; all which included activities and tools to use in parenting and leading my son.
“My journey of healing continues, but now I have confidence, hope, and the love that this community provides for my son and me.” ~ Katie |
