GET INVOLVED
There are multiple ways to participate and get involved in The New Beginnings and our mission to help single mothers. We host annual events and fundraisers including the following:
OUR EVENTS
Annual Benefit Gala
Once a year, TNB holds a fundraiser to support their program. We receive no government funds, so this is a very important event for us. Our ladies at TNB join us for this very enjoyable evening of dinner and entertainment.
We offer various levels of sponsorship which enables our local businesses to support our women and at the same time get their company logo displayed at our event and on our social media sites. For details call: 239-541-4312.
HOW YOU CAN GIVE A HAND UP
Volunteer
We are always looking for volunteers to come help in different areas of need within our program. Whether it be coming to help tutor the mothers in math, science or english, to babysitting a child for mom to have some “Me Time”. We are also in need of babysitters for children so moms can attend school, work, parenting sessions, bible study and group counseling, when these take place outside of daycare hours. You could also come and help out with one of our many events or activities, such as Sunday Fundays or come and get dirty during one of our Saturday landscaping days.
Mentor
We need mentors who are willing to be a consistent friend, coach, and cheerleader for our women. We try to provide one mentor for each of our mothers. It is a way that God can use you in someone else’s life that is very rewarding.
Being a mentor is being a positive role model for a mom who needs and wants one, possibly because:
• There is a desire and need for teachable moments in regard to life, parenting, womanhood, understanding and growing in their walk with the Lord, etc.
• Due to their past backgrounds and busyness of their “singleness” circumstances, they need to know they are not alone in this journey to better themselves.
• They are unable, or don’t know how to dedicate and invest time in themselves.
• There is a desire to confide in and interact with an adult, as in many instances there is a lack of their immediate family support.
