Christmas for Mommies
(a project of Women in Action)
United Way Women in Action recognizes the positive steps and attitudes of a nominated group of local low income mothers.
With the help of our sponsors, donor and members, 50 deserving mothers were the recipients of Christmas for Mommies gifts. The moms are selected by Marathon County Head Start family case managers and Project Step Up family mentors using the following criteria: hard working "mothers" with incomes at or below 200% poverty whom despite significant barriers and financial hardship, have displayed positive actions, attitudes and progress towards changing their families circumstances over the last year. Mommies were provided gifts bags filled with items to spoil Mom, including a $40 Salon gift certificate, Crock Pot and Visa gift card.
