Question 1

Why is Moms for Moms shifting its mission?

Accepted Answer

For more than a decade, we supported single mothers with essential newborn and postpartum items. In 2026, a large national nonprofit with significant funding launched a statewide essentials program in New York, helping even more mothers access what they need. This is something we helped advocate for, and we see it as mission accomplished.

Rather than duplicating services, we’re expanding our focus to education and career training programs because long-term stability is key to a mother’s future.

Question 2

Are you still distributing Newborn Baby Bundles and Postpartum Recovery Kits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the first half of 2026, we will continue distributing kits through our existing agency partners. After that transition period, we will no longer provide product-based support.

Question 3

What is your new program about?

Accepted Answer

We are creating education and career training support to help single mothers build skills, pursue meaningful employment, and create long-term financial security for their families. These offerings may include access to career certifications, vocational training, mentorship, financial literacy support, and help overcoming barriers like childcare or transportation.

Question 4

How will this shift help single mothers?

Accepted Answer

Newborn and postpartum essentials help mothers through a crucial starting point. But we know that a mother’s ability to earn, grow, and pursue her goals has the greatest impact on her family’s future. We’re building programs that invest directly in those opportunities.

Question 5

How can mothers get involved or enroll?

Accepted Answer

We are currently building partnerships and gathering information for our launch in the summer of 2026. Single mothers who are interested can join our interest list and be the first to know when program applications open.

Question 6

Can donors still support Moms for Moms?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, and now more than ever. Your generosity will help us fund education pathways, career training opportunities, and life-changing support for single mothers across NYC.

Question 7

Can we still volunteer?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As we transition, volunteer opportunities will shift from product-packing events to mentoring, skill-sharing, and support roles connected to education and employment readiness. Sign up to receive future volunteer opportunities as they become available.

Question 8

Will your partner network change?

Accepted Answer

We will continue working closely with community agencies, shelters, hospitals, and workforce development partners to strengthen the connections that help mothers move from hardship to independence.

Question 9

Is Moms for Moms still based in NYC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our focus remains on supporting single mothers in New York City.
