Journey for Hope Gala

More than 2,300 single mothers are living in poverty in the Fargo-Moorhead area, a number that has increased 16% over the last six years. The majority of these mothers have children under the age of 4. Their unsafe, unstable housing and a lack of affordable, quality childcare create barriers to pursuing a college education that leads to career-track jobs.

In June 2017, Jeremiah will break ground on a Fargo-Moorhead campus to serve 20 low-income families who are determined to change their lives. In this supportive community, families will have safe and affordable housing, spaces for empowerment and life skills training, support to pursue a career-track college education, and on-site quality early childhood education.

The holistic support Jeremiah provides promotes a culture of accountability and success, while adding well-trained, critically needed workers to the local Fargo-Moorhead economy and ensuring that children are ready for kindergarten.

As we prepare to break ground on our campus, we are offering empowerment and life skills training for low-income women in our area.
