Jennifer Finnegan told us about the relational ministry that she founded in 2008 to provide support for single moms.
A 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, Single MOMM provides community, support and resources for single moms in Grand Traverse County. Having been a single mom herself, Jennifer told of the "brokenness" that comes with becoming a single mom and how her organization helps women work their way back to becoming whole again. This includes abating the original crisis, providing a safe haven and offering hope, help and encouragement. The faith-based group has a list of volunteers who give everything from financial advice to handyman help. The organization has had a 78% success rate since 2008, and the number of single moms served has increased by about 100% each year.
