At GFoundation, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of single-mother families, particularly in New York and New Jersey.
In New York City, single-mother families are particularly vulnerable to economic insecurity. For instance, in certain areas of Manhattan, more than half of the children in single-parent homes live in poverty.

Our research into the realities faced by these families highlights an urgent need for support and intervention, which has driven us to focus our initiative on these resilient individuals.
After careful consideration of various needs, GFoundation launched our first initiative in April, providing food support to single-mother families.
After months of meetings and planning, GFoundation carefully selected families and distributed food kits in April. These kits are assembled considering the specific needs and circumstances of the families, ensuring they receive the nutrition and essentials required.
As we move forward, we will continue to expand our support to cover various aspects of assistance. Each month, based on the feedback and stories from the families we support, we will tailor our project to best meet their immediate needs.
We invite you to join us in this meaningful support to single-mother families.
Supporting single-mother families at GFoundation goes beyond just addressing economic needs. It represents a commitment to standing alongside them. Let’s work together to empower single-mother families, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.
