The statistics are dire: 42% of children born into poverty are still poor a generation later. But for some single moms, their child becomes their motivation to break the cycle of poverty and build a better life for themselves and their children.
Almost Home provides resources and support for these motivated young moms, but it’s their drive, grit, and determination that will transform their futures.
“Poverty is too old and too complex a problem to apply the status quo. It’s time to disrupt. It’s time to innovate. It’s time to invest in what works and break the cycle two generations at a time.”
Support our young moms by donating household goods and baby supplies from our Amazon Wish List.

Volunteer Spotlight:
Ashley Lane
Childcare Volunteer
“One day I walked downstairs to the playroom and one of the little kids ran up to me with the biggest smile on his face and gave me the most awesome welcome hug. It made me smile and helped me realize the impact that I have on their lives every time I show up to volunteer.“
