Supporting Families
Every donation brings us closer to helping single-parents, parents, their children and unparents break the cycles of harm, including poverty, domestic violence, abuse and neglect, mental health issues, being a vulnerable target of an attack, isolation, substance use, exhaustion, and burnout.
​
With your help, these families will achieve a brighter future!​
Please consider making a contribution today to help us continue this vital work. For every dollar invested in our wrap-around services, $1.64 is yielded in economic benefits.

DID YOU KNOW?
There are over 20 million single-parent households that exist in the United States. 30% of Lane County is made up of single-parent households. That is over 28,000 single-parent households in Lane County. Roughly 42,000 children and 46,000 adults, totaling 88,000 need more support than they receive.
​Vital Villages OR is working to support these families and break the cycle of hardship. Vital Villages OR is dedicated to breaking cycles of harm, eliminating obstacles, reducing stress, and empowering single parents and their children through personalized, all-encompassing support. Our team of Adult Advocates and Youth Mentors visit single-parent households weekly to provide crucial assistance where it is most necessary. Through our mentorship programs, we offer practical assistance with job searching, financial literacy, healing, parental challenges, and emotional and tangible support to single parents, helping them overcome obstacles and achieve success.
​
By supporting single-parent families, we not only improve individual well-being but also create a stronger, more resilient community for future generations to thrive in.

Our mentors are trained, experienced single parents who understand the unique challenges and triumphs of navigating life as a single parent. By providing a safe, non-judgmental space for sharing experiences and struggles we foster a sense of community and belonging among our families.
