Jeremiah Program
St. Paul
Jeremiah Program serves single moms and their children experiencing poverty in St. Paul, Minnesota. Our mission is to disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time. JP believes that no mother should have to choose between investing in herself and her children.
