Our Mission:
Dear, Just Community is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to building community and creating opportunities for single moms and moms in need. We aim to empower moms by offering resources, mentorship, and educational opportunities. Together, we strive to foster a sense of belonging, inspire personal growth, and help moms thrive in all aspects of their lives while bridging the gap between the workforce and motherhood.
How will the Funds be used:
Dear, Just Community holds the belief that for mothers to thrive, they must attain wholeness in Mind, Body, and Soul. This philosophy underpins our Well Program. We offer Mental Health Services and Education to nurture the Mind, Healthcare (D.P.C), and Food Security through Weekly Farm CSA’s for the Body. Additionally, we facilitate Special Interest Groups and Monthly Meetups to foster a sense of community.
The Well, in ancient times, served as a symbolic and often literal center of the Community, representing a vital source from which the community obtained the essential sustenance of life: water.
At Dear, Just Community, we are on a mission to educate, empower and uplift mothers from all walks of life. We firmly believe that every mom deserves access to essential resources that can enhance their lives and the lives of their children. That's why we have made the commitment to invest $5,000-$10,000 per year in each mom we support.
Here are 5 core areas that we allocate these funds:
1. Healthcare/Wellness - A Fundamental Right:
Healthcare is a fundamental right, and it should be accessible to everyone, especially mothers who often prioritize the well being of their families over their own health. Through our investment, we provide moms with access to Direct Primary Care (DPC) services as well as a Gym Membership with Childcare. By doing so, we ensure that they receive quality medical care/fitness services without the financial burden that often accompanies it.
2. Mental Health Services - Supporting Emotional Well-being:
Motherhood can be incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with its unique set of challenges. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and our investment includes access to mental health services. We believe that addressing the mental well-being of moms is vital for their overall happiness and the well-being of their families.
3. Food Security - Nourishing Bodies and Minds:
Proper nutrition is the cornerstone of good health. To support moms in providing nutritious meals for their families, we allocate funds for healthy food through Farm Fresh Weekly CSA Baskets to their door. This helps ensure that moms have access to quality groceries and can provide their loved ones with the nourishment they need to thrive.
4. Education - Unlocking Opportunities:
Education is a powerful tool for personal growth and economic empowerment. We understand that moms often need flexibility in their schedules to balance family responsibilities. That's why we provide access to education that enables them to learn remote work skills. By acquiring these skills, moms can access better employment opportunities, increase their earning potential, and create a brighter future for their families.
5. Community - The Power of Connection:
We believe that no mother should journey alone. Community support is an essential part of our investment. We foster a sense of belonging, encouraging moms to connect with others who share their experiences and challenges. Through community building activities and networks, moms can exchange knowledge, offer emotional support, and find strength in unity.
Dear, Just Community believes that by investing in these core areas, including community support, we can
create a ripple effect of positive change. Empowered moms are better equipped to care for their
families, contribute to their communities, and inspire future generations.
