Eve's Daughters (ED) is an amazing organization that helps so many single moms! I was fortunate to learn of it when it was first launching and have watched it expand and touch many women in need. I have attended events and recommended it to others. ED hosts monthly dinners with activities and/or education opportunities for moms, and often for the kids too. It's a great way to have a night off from cooking and get social time with women in similar situations. Loneliness and lack of support/community are common struggles for any single parent. I think ED does a great job of addressing those needs, in addition to networking single moms for basic needs like housing, furniture, appliances, etc. They also connect with single moms online through Facebook and blogging. I'm not aware of any other organization in the Portland area that specifically supports single moms in the practical and caring ways that Eve's Daughters does. My only feedback is that I hope word spreads about this organization so that many more women will benefit from it!
