Volunteer Team
There are many ways to Volunteer:
All opportunities below are great for individuals. Many of these will also work well for groups of 6-12 volunteers (GREAT FOR GROUPS!). TSMKC loves to have women and men serve but we do recognize there are certain areas that are best served by women volunteers. Areas men are encouraged to serve are noted in each category (MEN AND WOMEN).
FEATURED FALL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: PURSUIT
Program Description: Single moms and their children gather with other single mom families for dinner. After the meal, children (ages newborn—12 years old) are provided with childcare or an age appropriate program while moms attend a program for them.

START A SINGLE MOM GROUP
BELONGING: Brené Brown has extensively studied what the greatest need human beings have.
We know that it is important for single mothers to have a place to BELONG and small groups is just one important way that Single Mothers discover the value and importance they have. Single Mother Small Groups offer women a safe place to BELONG.
If you would like to help us develop a nationwide network of Small Groups For Single MOMS including monthly mentoring calls for leaders, access to curriculum, opportunities for on-site visits, and yearly training: contact Misty Honnold at misty@thesinglemomkc.org

ADOPT A MOM
We know it is also important for a Single Mother to find community and support outside our organization. We want to help those Single Mothers who are dedicated to the process of restoration to find support and encouragement from others outside our ministry. We are looking for families, individuals, and groups who will adopt a single-mother family.
- Pray regularly for the single mother family
- Send them cards or notes on special occasions
- Be willing to donate gifts for birthday and Christmas for the family
GRACE GROUP
Locally, we are developing Family Support Teams (5 families or individuals) for each mom. We have a vision for five local families to surround each mother whom we are discipling and build relationships with them through dinners, coffee times, helping with home projects, etc. A single mother has a limited network of friends and resources. By connecting her with others, we help to build the bridge to more opportunities for her and her children.
PRAYER SHIELD PARTNERSHIP
We believe that lives are changed through prayer. We desire committed prayer partners who will seek the counsel of the Lord with us, pray regularly for the single-mother families we serve, uphold the leadership and vision of The Single MOM KC, and intercede concerning urgent or new prayer requests. To be a part of the Prayer Shield that surrounds this ministry and individuals in prayer, please sign up below.
I SEE YOU HOUSES
We find that at the onset of crisis, many single mothers do not have the support nor the emotional capacity to make hard decisions about their future. However, the need for making these decisions presses down on them.
The Single MOM KC is currently seeking out an apartment complex or duplexes that will serve as temporary housing for single mothers at the onset of crisis. These homes will be places of respite, rest and restoration. A single mother will have the opportunity to live in this home for 1-2 years, receiving counseling, mentoring, and help with putting the pieces of her shattered life back together.
Our I SEE YOU Homes are based on Genesis 16; where Hagar was sent into the desert with her son, totally abandoned by those who were committed to care for her, and she encountered the God Who Sees. We want Single Mothers to know there is a God Who Sees them in the desert and comes to meet with them and give them direction.
We hope that, through these I SEE YOU (ICU) Homes, single mothers will have an opportunity for some initial healing before they jump back into a life they never expected.
