At a circle
Welcome moms, help set up, or watch the little ones so a mom can focus on herself for an hour. Sometimes the gift is simply a warm face and a listening ear.
More than money
The best gifts don't always have a dollar sign.
An hour of your time. A room for a circle of moms. A box of self-care for a mom who forgot herself. Some of the most powerful gifts we receive never touch a checkbook. Here is exactly what we need, and how to give it.
Why this matters
Every gift holds a mom.
We are a lean organization with a big mission. That means the things you already own, and the skills you already have, do real work here.
A volunteer frees a mom for an hour. A donated room becomes a circle where she is finally seen. A box of self-care says someone remembered her. If it holds a mom, we can probably use it. Below is the honest list of what helps most right now.

Give your time
Your hours are a lifeline.
You do not need to write a check to hold a mom up. You need a few hours and something you already know how to do.
Behind the scenes
Lend your skills with social media, newsletters, data, event planning, or fundraising. Steady hands behind the scenes keep every program running.
Lead a session
Counselors, wellness pros, and coaches: lead a workshop or a few minutes of calm at a circle. Paid or donated, your gift gives moms real tools.

Good questions
Before you give.
I only have a couple of hours a month. Is that useful?
Yes. One volunteer at one circle can change a mom's whole week. Tell us what you have and we will find the right fit.
Can you use gently used items?
For many things, yes. New is best for the self-care and skincare items that go into our care packages. When in doubt, just ask.
Is an in-kind gift tax-deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. For non-cash gifts valued over $5,000, the IRS generally requires a qualified appraisal and Form 8283. We provide a written acknowledgment for every gift. Please talk with your own tax advisor.
