What our program is about: 

OUR SCHOLARSHIP "PLUS" An unrestricted scholarship for $255 per month Assistance towards internet service  Tech assistance for computers and software  AAA Towing Assistance with auto repairs    Limited dental & medical care for Mom  Hair cut and Style Holiday gift giving event Carpet Cleaning   Budget Management Mentoring and tutoring Bookstore giftcard Single Moms Network  THE SINGLE MOMS NETWORK http://www.singlemomsnetwork.org/  We believe that single moms in college need a network - a supportive community made up of other single moms who can work together as a whole to empower each mom as an individual.   Our Single Moms Network** provides just that.

In conjunction with Glendale Community College, Mesa Community College and John C Lincoln Health Networks, Helping Hands has monthly gatherings for moms.  This time together is a gathering point for single moms to learn from special presentations and meet each other for the purpose of initiating mutually supportive relationships.   Our goal is to expand our network meetings throughout the community.

**This project is based on solid research.  In conjunction with Arizona State University West and Valley of the Sun United Way, Helping Hands for Single Moms conducted a successful research project in 2005. The goal was to determine how single moms in college can form productive and mutually supportive relationships.
