S.M.A.R.T. is a new non-profit outreach operated under the 501C3 status of Philadelphia Church (pcseattle.org).
What We Do
The S.M.A.R.T. program is designed to assist single mothers with the support and education they need to adequately provide for their children. Support is currently provided through our FREE clothing bank (for mothers and children) and our S.M.A.R.T. Single Mother's Network. Future programs will incorporate educational assistance such as GED tutoring and similar lifelong learning classes. Counseling and mentoring will also be provided as emotional and spiritual needs arise. We will update this website as items above are starting.
Single mothers are the most economically challenged demographic of our society. The S.M.A.R.T. program's mission is to help single mothers make wise and informed decisions going forward regardless of the circumstances that have led them to their challenges.

On Saturday, January 10, 2009, we held our kick-off event that hosted approx. 60 mothers and children to let them know about this new ministry. We had a wonderful luncheon, entertainment by Tim Schafer - the Yo-Yo Man, face-painting, spin art and balloon making. Gifts were given to each mother and child provided by Philadelphia Church and Source Salon & Spa in Ballard, WA. Lastly, Sean Hoyt Photography donated his services and took pictures of each mother and her children. What a great event!
