Help for Single Moms and Their Children

Sheridan House Single Parent Ministry is a local ministry (Broward, Dade, and West Palm Beach counties in Florida) providing aid to single moms thorough requests from local churches. Each year, Sheridan House helps over two thousand single moms and their children. We are here to wrap our arms around single moms, by providing for their immediate needs through our Single Parent Ministry. Single moms' needs are met in a variety of ways: food baskets, clothing, furniture, rent or utilities, budget counseling, supportive counseling, or simply praying with them. Sheridan House's Single Parent Ministry also organizes several events for single moms throughout the year. (Pre-registration is required for all events.)

Sheridan House desires to come alongside the local church to help meet the needs of single moms and their children

"I'm a single mom.... how can I get help?"

If you are a single mom and need help, go to your local church first. If your church does not have an avenue of help for you, share your needs with your pastor and let him know Sheridan House can help your church help you. Ask your church to contact the Single Parent Ministry at Sheridan House, and together, we will work to meet your needs.
