Share Our Strength Unveils Groundbreaking Investment of $6.7 Million to Advance Economic Mobility for Single Mothers and Their Children
Summary
Recognizing that it takes more than food to end hunger, Share Our Strength is investing $6.7 million across 28 organizations in 12 states to help families, particularly single mothers with lower incomes and their children, achieve financial security. Through advocacy for policy change and programmatic strategies, partners are working on three high-impact areas: removing barriers to increased incomes and wages, reducing the cost burden of food, and shifting the narrative around single mothers experiencing poverty.Despite being consistently employed, single mothers and their children face extraordinary levels of food and financial insecurity due to intersecting barriers, including limited access to living wage employment, high costs of basic needs, and social stigmatization. Were eager to fuel the incredible work of our community partners, and stand ready to convene a national conversation to champion a better future for single mothers raising children. "Because narratives about who is deserving of help shape policy, a key component of this work is also to reframe the national conversation and demystify misconceptions about single mothers experiencing poverty that dont match the reality of this resilient yet vulnerable population. "We are committed to supporting innovative programs and partnerships helping break the cycle of hunger in the communities we serve," said Christy Duncan Anderson, president and Executive Director for Albertsons Companies Foundation.
