Mamas for Mamas is a charitable organization that supports mothers and caregivers in crisis by providing ongoing support to individuals and families facing various poverty-related struggles.

We are committed to giving a hand up, not just a hand out to those struggling by providing them with essential needs. We are actively engaging with multiple levels of government and non-profit agencies; together we are working to change the systems that contribute to the vicious cycle of poverty, mental health issues, housing, and food insecurity.

In typical Mamas style we have created a task force to help all those affected by this pandemic; whether that be financially, emotionally or physically. We are banding together to #Respondlikeamother.

As Mamas, we tend to take care of everyone else first, to make sure our children, partners and parents’ needs are met. Keeping on trend, we recognize this is not just a Mamas issue, but an everyone issue. It is time to build longer tables, not higher fences.

Let’s gather at the table the seniors that do not have the ability to leave their homes to buy groceries. The mothers patiently waiting for their child tax benefit to come through to buy their essentials. The single dad that is unable to work because he needs to stay home and care for his children. Big picture, we all need to come to the table.

Poverty in our community is going to increase significantly over the next days, weeks and months. The long term effects will be catastrophic to those on a limited income.

So today we ask you to join us by contributing whatever you can bring to the table. We all know someone, or many people who will need help in the coming weeks and months. It starts here and now.

It takes a village to raise a child, and it is going to take a resilient and dedicated community to raise the bar on how we treat each other in times of uncertainty. Let us be the example of how a community can #respondlikeamother

This digital fundraiser will be in support of maintaining the emergency and crisis relief support required for the clients of our at-risk program that will continue to fill the gaps in poverty relief. Poverty comes in all forms, and we all need to make sure our mamas and their families have their bases covered.

We will continue to be on the front lines and working with other agencies to come together, gather our resources and get them to the people who need them. We are as always providing a hand up, not a hand out.
