Help for the holidays…
December is busy with holidays, vacations, family visits, gifting and hosting. This time of year can be full of fun and giving— but not for everyone especially women in poverty who are pregnant and parenting.
For those experiencing financial and resource poverty, this stress can be exacerbated even more. However, you may be surprised to learn—and eager to pass on—these helpful resources and tips.

Our WomenDeserveBetter helpsite has more than 300 articles to help families Work, Learn, Live, and Love better.
Whether you or someone you know needs help with housing, relationship safety, or help with food costs, we are here to help.
Share this information with our brochures, stickers, and flyers! Post our images on your social media. Reach out to your community’s churches, pregnancy help centers, and schools to introduce our helpsite to them.
Another way you can help is by making a tax-deductible gift. Single gifts made by December 31 will be matched. New and increased monthly gifts will be double-matched, and employer matching gifts will double your support yet again!
By sharing time, talent, gifts, and resources, we can help make this time of year better for all.
Because women deserve better,
