We have FREE school supplies available for children of single moms! Single Mom Strong wants to be sure your child has everything they need to head back to school!

Register to receive one backpack per child (limit three per family, while supplies last) then head over to 500 Arden Way - Sacramento, CA 95815 on Saturday, July 26. You will be able to select age-appropriate items. Children will choose from binders, folders and notebooks, pens, pencils, markers, erasers, scissors, glue and more. A volunteer will be present to distribute the items, making this a quick and easy pick up!

The details: Backpacks MUST be picked up at this distribution event. Those that are not present for pickup will forfeit their right to a backpack or supplies. To qualify, your family must be registered to receive Single Mom Strong services (which means you've completed a one-page online form — it takes 1 minute!). A registration form will be emailed to all families who register for this event. There is no purchase necessary and no obligation. All children of single mothers are welcome to receive this benefit.

Organized by

Statistics shows that children of single mothers suffer in a variety of ways and the mothers often find themselves living in poverty and riddled with guilt or frustration. But, we are here to change the statistics.  We believe that single mothers and their children do not have to be negatively impacted by this circumstance. In fact, being "single-mom-strong: having grit and determination; refusing to fail", is not detrimental at all...  raised are used to advance our mission.

It is the mission of Single Mom Strong to create a community of single mothers and children in support of one another, while empowering them to be their best selves, through enrichment, encouragement and educational programs.
