Our 4th Annual Family Gift Market will be held on Saturday December 21st at the Valley Community Center in West Des Moines! 

The Family Gift Market is a free event and unique opportunity for single parents and their children to shop for one another at Christmas! Our team of 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. Learn more here.

Our Groups kickoff this fall! 

We can't say enough about the value of being connected in our Groups, but we will let those a part of them tell you instead:

"They know the struggles I'm going through. So, there are people I can confide in, that won't judge me, and have good advice." 

"Although our journeys may be different, our stories are similar...I feel equal and I don't feel judged." 

"My life is so much better for being in this group. I'm a better person and a better parent." 

Get connected! Three of our Groups will get underway on September 11th with a new Group in Ankeny will launch on October 1st! Visit our Groups page to learn more or email us at groups@singleparentprovision.org.
