Join a fierce community that fights for single mothers.

Our vision is to create a Motherful world in which all mothers and their children are valued, nurtured, supported and cared for and where single mothers never again feel alone, abandoned, cast aside, stigmatized or marginalized systemically or personally.

We seek to build a safe, intentional community where single mothers joyfully and peacefully work together, uplift each other, and share abundant resources in a collaborative, equitable collective.

WHY JOIN?

MAMAS HAVE ACCESS TO:

It’s all about bringing collective mothering back into the consciousness of the people. We’re all about sharing resources, and nurturing each other’s minds, bodies, and souls. No mother needs to mother alone. Together with our partners, supporters and volunteers, we are creating food security and education, feeding up to 100+ families weekly since June 2020. From diapers and formula, to clothes and cleaning supplies, members can stop by several days a week to both drop off contributions and pick up resources that they can use.
We’re all about community and care, connection and camaraderie.Our community garden provides an opportunity for members to reconnect with nature. Working in the garden is something for both mothers and their children to engage with in a way that brings them peace. Many of the kids come out to help, getting excited about picking cucumbers and carrots and herbs, while also learning new skills.
This is a space to gather, to give, and to grow. Our semi-monthly Community Dinners bring the collective together for hundreds of meals shared and make space for children to play and participate in activities at our sponsor site, the Two Fifty Four Youth Center in Gahanna, Ohio. Our dream for the future? To build a Motherful Co-Housing Development with a Community Center in Columbus, Ohio.
At Motherful, we see you fully. Our art actions include performance and activism that brings mothers’ voices to the stage and the streets, building a movement of expression and maternal justice. Monthly Mom’s Night Outs, sponsored by Saucy Brew Works, bring moms together for social time and connection while celebrating their lives outside of motherhood. Community Conversations via Zoom keep our members connected and learning with experts on issues and topics concerning single mothers. And monthly Wellness Events include outings to local spas, yoga studios, and more to provide respite and care for single mothers.
We prioritize revitalization. When we return from fighting the stigmas and slights often placed on us, we pause to check in with each other. Collective members have access to our mobile app through MightyNetworks, where they can post and share resources, needs, upcoming events, and any connections they have or want to make.
