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
“When I suddenly became a single mom, I was devastated, ashamed, and lost and in such pain. The Single Mom KC gave this Mama and her broken family a place of love, acceptance and refuge. As each meeting would approach, I looked forward to the words of wisdom, compassion and encouragement spoken by the leaders to each woman, reaching us exactly where we were in this journey as a single mom. I thank the Lord for this sisterhood and I'm so proud to be a part of them.”
