'Adopt-a-Mom' campaign helps single mothers on Mother's Day: 'We want to show them they are not alone.'
, a non-profit organization that serves low-income, working families in the Athens, Georgia, area, has been providing flowers and cards for single mothers on Mother's Day.
"It brought tears to my eyes because the thought of someone thinking of you on Mother's Day who doesn't even know you — it just really warmed my heart and lifted my spirits," said Hulin. "Adopt-a-Mom got started based on us wanting to meet a need in the community that we didn't see was being met," said Cockfield."The majority of people that we help are single, working moms and we thought, 'What can we do to better serve them and also recognize them for what they're doing?'"
"It's helping a mother celebrate Mother's Day," explained Cockfield,"but it's also helping moms throughout the year. What we're about is empowering people and wanting them to know how special they are. It takes a lot to come into an agency and ask for assistance...and that tugs at our hearts and makes us want to let them know we see what they're doing and we want to show them they are not alone.
