Continuing our theme of organizations serving mother's and children in the month of May, Single Mom Strong brings us yet another perspective on how properly addressing a need can really change lives for the better.

Ever wondered how a single mother's personal journey could transform into a life-changing support network for others like her? Tara Taylor, founder and Executive Director of Single Mom Strong, is here to share her inspiring story. From juggling a demanding real estate career with the trials of single motherhood to addressing systemic barriers such as childcare subsidies and societal stigma, Tara's experiences have shaped an organization committed to uplifting single moms. Her journey and personal challenges were transformed into powerful community initiatives.

Discover the incredible work being done at Single Mom Strong, especially during challenging times like the holidays. The Holiday Adopt-A-Family program is just one of many initiatives that have grown exponentially, helping countless single-parent families feel genuinely supported rather than like charity cases. The Empowerment Center stands as a testament to resilience, offering affordable childcare and educational opportunities tailored specifically for single mothers. Despite opening amid a pandemic, the center has remained one of support, ensuring that single moms have the resources they need to thrive.

Partnerships play a crucial role in augmenting the support provided by Single Mom Strong. With aspirations for expansion and a unique funding model sustaining its growth, Single Mom Strong envisions a future where every single mom has access to the resources she needs. Tara's passion for this community of single moms and the collective effort to raise awareness about their needs is fueling the success of this incredible organization.
