Mother's Day Ministry 2022
Channel: St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Stuart Florida
Date: 2022-04-30

Mother’s Day is May 8. While we celebrate our own mothers with love and affection, there are other new or expectant mothers we don’t know who need our loving thoughts and caring. These are single mothers with uncertain futures, financial insecurity, and some with major safety concerns. 

St. Mary’s is teaming with local organizations, like Care Net, Healthy Start, SafeSpace, and Family Promise to present them with a special care package. We expect to provide 60 packages.

Care packages will include necessities for the baby and small luxuries for the mother to make her feel special. These items include diapers and baby wipes for the baby; and for the mother, shampoo, body lotion, cosmetic items, and a scented candle. This year we are also adding a small, live floral arrangement.

Care packages average $35 each. You may donate by check (with memo Mother’s Day), online, mobile pay, text, and cash (at St. Mary’s) and any amount is welcome. 

This program is fully funded by St. Mary’s and administered by members of the Outreach Committee.

Please respond by May 2. 
Thank on behalf of those who don’t know you but who will feel touched by your caring generosity.
