We’re excited to share that Helping Hands for Single Moms Dallas is entering a foundational season of growth. This fall, we are rebranding with a new name that reflects our bold national vision, while staying true to the mission, values, and comprehensive wraparound services that are the heartbeat of our work.



Our program's impact on the single mom college student family is significant. These families are under exponential stress as mom attends college, works, and raises her children. The pressures of limited income are exacerbated by a lack of time. This vulnerable population is often exiting difficult situations with many seeing the pursuit of a college education as a pathway to success. 



Single Mom College Community focuses on building resilience through personal and professional development as clients learn practical life skills such as money management, resume writing, job interview preparation, proper attire, and other competencies. Single moms often feel alone so time with peers, mentoring, and encouragement are vital toward their success. Meetings occur on a regular basis over a shared meal with subject matter experts presenting.

Though a new foundation here in DFW, our success precedes us here in Dallas and our Helping Hands for Single Moms legacy spans over 20 years in Phoenix, Arizona, where our Dallas Founder served on the board for 10 years, including Board President.


Our Needs

We are in a season of transformational growth. 

This fall, we are rebranding with a bold new name and vision to expand beyond Dallas, reaching more single mom families. Your North Texas Giving Day gift will help us increase the number of families we serve and the communities we impact.

A successful campaign allows us to walk hand-in-hand with more single mothers as they attain their degrees, increase their skills, and earning potential. Upon graduation, these women secure livable-wage jobs, achieve financial independence, and create lasting family legacies—breaking the cycle of generational poverty and strengthening entire communities for years to come.
