The Single Moms Christmas Dinner exists to pour into single mothers and their children and let them know, “We see you,” at a time of year when the feeling of being alone can be magnified. We have the opportunity to show those who attend that they are not alone by: uniting them with others walking a similar journey; sharing with them the heart of Single Parent Provision and the love we have for them; and sharing with them the truth that God is with them and desires to walk side-by-side with them throughout their life’s journey. In addition, added time and financial constraints that come with the Christmas season can be heavily felt by many attending. We believe God is using this event as a tool to help lighten their load, fill up their hearts, and infuse joy and love into their lives at what can be a particularly difficult time of year.

Additional Christmas Opportunities The Family Gift Market happens on Saturday, December 14 and is a unique opportunity for single parents and their children to shop for one another on Christmas. This is a free event open to all single parents, but registration is required. Volunteers play the role of shopping assistant helping kiddos select, wrap, and label a gift for their registered parent, while parents shop in an adjacent room selecting a gift for each one of their children. Cookies, crafts, and cocoa are available for families to enjoy together when their shopping is done, and all leave with a wrapped gift for one another to be put under the tree for Christmas.
