Help Us Cultivate a Safe Space For Moms

Making a life-affirming choice to parent is not a one-time decision; it’s a lifelong commitment.

Motherhood often hasn’t been safe for young single moms in underserved communities, not because of a lack of love, but because of a lack of support, stability, and community.

The numbers tell the story:
Nearly 1 in 3 families headed by single women in Georgia live below the poverty line.
In metro Atlanta, 71% of families living below the poverty line are headed by single moms, and 26.7% of children live in poverty.
For children born into low-income families, Atlanta ranks last among major U.S. metros for upward mobility.
Nationally, 40% of U.S. households are “liquid-asset poor,” meaning they don’t have enough savings to survive a single missed paycheck.
As well 37% of Americans couldn’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing or going into debt.

Too often, statistics like these are met with judgment toward mothers–

“She should’ve done more.” OR “She shouldn’t have gotten pregnant in that situation.” 

The truth is that instability is often unpredictable, and freedom can often feel unattainable for young single moms.

Most Americans are just one paycheck, one medical bill, or one unexpected crisis away from poverty.

Instability isn’t always the result of bad decisions. Far too often, it stems from societal and systemic conditions and unpredictable circumstances that affect mothers from all backgrounds.

This is where The Mom Community steps in.

At TMC, housing has been our foundation from the beginning — but it’s actually only a piece of what we do. We offer both:

Our home provides a stable place for shelter, security, and basic sustenance as our residents and their babies build for the future.
Our community is a safe space to experience dignity, understanding, healing and connection with other moms where they can breathe, cry, laugh, learn and grow without judgment.

True safety for a mom is more than just a locked door at night — it’s the freedom to live, rest, and grow without fear or isolation and with connection to a thriving support network.

The Mom Community house is a place to live AND a space for life-on-life connection. It’s where the slow deep work happens and lives are transformed, truly making the house A Safe Space for Moms.

At The Mom Community, a safe space looks like:

Housing & Home

Our 2 year independent living program & vital life skills training provide a safe and secure environment for learning to build a home.

Comprehensive Parenting Support

We empower our moms with resources for birth, postpartum, & parenting education & guidance to nurture their child(ren).

Personal Growth

We ensure our moms have access to trauma-informed and supportive spaces of care, counseling, and connection for their physical, mental & spiritual health.

Career Development

We cultivate opportunities to build skills, pursue education, and prepare for career growth while also reducing barriers to sustainable employment for a single mom thus laying the foundation for long-term economic stability and independence.

Community of Support

We help build a welcoming circle of supportive connections & relationships where moms can seek help, gather, unwind, and share openly knowing they will be heard and seen.

A Safe Space for Moms is a space where a mom can shed her armor, receive encouragement, and envision a future for her family that’s not defined by mere survival.

When moms have a safe space, they can heal, build stability, and provide the kind of nurturing environment their children need to thrive.

Your gift turns a roof overhead into a place of true refuge by breaking through the barriers of shame and replacing them with open doors to compassion, opportunity, and lasting change.

Help us continue to create “A Safe Space for Moms” because when mothers have safety and support, families thrive.

Get Involved

Every gift makes a difference in creating a safe space for a mother in need. In Atlanta, 71% of families living below the poverty line are headed by single moms, and nearly one in three of these families struggle daily to make ends meet. Nationally, 40% of households are just one paycheck away from financial crisis.

These numbers aren’t abstract—they represent real mothers, children, and families searching for stability, safety, and community.

Through our A Safe Space for Moms campaign, we’re transforming housing into hubs of healing—places where mothers not only find shelter, but also access mentorship, mental health counseling, parenting support, and professional development. These safe spaces don’t just meet immediate needs; they break cycles of instability and build lasting change for generations.

Stabilizing Partnership

MATCHING PARTNERS

This year, we’re asking churches to come alongside us in a powerful way through the A Safe Space for Moms campaign. 

We’re inviting your church to commit to three key acts of impact: (1) Make a $10,000 pledge to directly support our A Safe Space for Moms campaign, (2) Offer 10 volunteers or 10 volunteer hours to walk alongside the mothers we serve, and (3) Connect us with 10 new people, groups, or organizations that can help expand the reach and impact of our mission.

Your church’s commitment won’t just meet urgent needs—it will multiply hope and help create lasting change for generations.

Sustaining Partnership

MONTHY DONORS

Now is the moment to make your giving go further.

By joining us as a monthly donor—or by increasing your current monthly gift—you’ll be standing alongside moms who are working every day to build stability for their families.

Every new or increased monthly donation during this campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar through our $100,000 matching fund. That means your commitment not only provides reliable, ongoing support—it also instantly doubles in impact, multiplying hope and opportunity for the moms we serve.

Supporting Partners

ONE-TIME GIFTS

Your one-time gift has the power to open the door to safety for a mother who needs it most.

Whether you give $25, $250, or $2,500, your generosity provides more than shelter—it creates space for stability, healing, and hope.

And right now, your impact will be doubled. During this campaign, every dollar you give will be matched through our $100,000 matching fund, multiplying the difference you make for mothers in crisis.

Together, we can turn generosity into transformation.
