Your Donation Makes a Difference

Our program is creating a lasting change that will affect not only the lives of the mothers we serve and the lives of their children, but also the generations that will follow.

We appreciate the SIZE OF THE GAP between poverty & homelessness to living wage jobs & economic security.

We are willing to stand in the gap by providing the basic needs and providing innovative, practical solutions that empower homeless, low-income, single mothers to reach economic self-sufficiency.

The strategic program is in place and already creating amazing results!
All we need now is for people like you to agree to “stand in the gap” with us.

Please give your most generous contribution TODAY to help us provide for the basic needs of these families while the mothers focus on becoming self-sufficient.

Please note the location you’d like your donation to be dedicated to in the Memo section on the Donate Form, if applicable.

"It is estimated as a nation that we spend approximately $1.1 billion total or $35,000 per homeless person each year in order to pay for healthcare, emergency shelters, and criminal justice and social services” (University of Toronto Medical Journal, 2004). Accordingly, SRS equates to a $19 return on investment (as preventative savings) for every community $1 spent. (Community Asset Builders, Jefferson City)

how we have helped

With the encouragement of my Success Coach, I had finally worked up the courage to pursue my dream of becoming an x-ray technician.  Then I got the devastating news that I was not eligible for any government assistance to help cover the costs.  We looked at every possible option and couldn’t find a solution, so my Success Coach and I made a commitment to pray and ask God to provide a way for me to go to college.  And God must have been listening because within 24 hours, a family decided that they would donate the cost of my education to St. Raymond’s.  Now I am even more motivated than before to earn my degree, because people who have never even met me believe in me and my future enough to invest in it!

Faith exemplifies everything St. Raymond’s Society stands for in that Faith is determined be fully present and to do whatever it takes to be the best she can be in every area of her life.  I am super proud of this young woman!

Faith’s Success Coach

I appreciate the resources and services St. Raymond’s Society provides our community’s single mothers and their children.  This is an organization that offers a real solution, not just and band aid and I can get behind that.  They are creating lasting changes in the lives of families.

Business Owner

I was a single mother myself, but I was fortunate enough to have strong family support.  I shudder to think where I might have ended up without it.  I know first-hand how important it is to have encouragement and support when you are trying to work, go to school, and build a life for yourself and your child.  I am so pleased that we have a St. Raymond’s Society to help these young mothers navigate through all of the barriers that would otherwise prevent her from succeeding.
