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 will be provided through the means of a food bank, a clothing bank (for mothers and children) and transitional housing. Education will be provided through GED programs, parenting classes, life skills training, entrepreneurial courses and after-school tutoring for children. 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!
