$5,800 to Abria for Monthly North Minneapolis Mom’s Group/ Collaboration with ECFE
Director of Development Bryant Ortega writes,
“This grant supported the operational costs of the Mom’s Group program — staffing, materials, and educational resources — allowing us to provide consistent, high-quality support to mothers in North Minneapolis. Through sessions on goal setting, self-care, nutrition, wellness, and more, we create a supportive space focused on the needs of women from pregnancy through their child’s second birthday.
“This program — which directly aligns with our mission to empower women to choose life and equip them for successful parenting — fosters a supportive community for mothers, and we’ve seen increased engagement and retention. We continue to build bridges with other community organizations, expanding our ability to serve more women and strengthening community resilience. One of our clients said, ‘It was nice to know I wasn’t alone in some of those experiences, that there were other women in the room who had experienced those things too.’”
