Single mothers will receive free parenting education and mental health services, thanks in part to a $12,500 grant from the Edward K. Roberts Fund at the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. The services will be provided through Forty Carrots Family Center’s Free Community Outreach program. “All parents, regardless of socioeconomic status, age or other factors, deserve access to information, education and support in order to do the best possible job raising their children,” says Michelle Kapreilian. “This generous grant will allow us to work with single mothers addressing their unique needs. We are so grateful to the Foundation for partnering with us in our work to strengthen families.”
