How you can Help
 

Stepping Stones for Women is dependant upon the partnerships of many individuals and organizations to help us serve single mothers and children. Please review the different ways below that you can become involved.   If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Your support helps change lives!

 

Donate Financially

Stepping Stones for Women depends entirely on the private donations of funds, goods, and services from individuals, churches, businesses and charitable foundations. 

Financial dollars, gifts-in-kind donations and volunteer manpower help provide the resources and fuel that plant hope in the hearts of single mothers and children.  These mothers and children, who ordinarily would not venture beyond their immediate spheres of low-income neighborhoods can, with your help, be permitted to dream of futures without walls defined by poverty and homelessness.

SSFW is a private, 501-C 3 tax-exempt, non-profit corporation chartered by the State of California.  All contributions are tax-deductible according to the fullest extent of the law.

Ways to give financially:

    • We can accept your check made payable to Stepping Stones for Women and mailed to PO Box 4873, Covina, CA  91723.
    • We can take Visa or MasterCard directly through our merchant account.  Call the office, 626/974-1162, and we will be happy to process it in a secure manner.
    • Arrange through your bank to make a gift on a regular basis via on-line banking.
    • Give on-line through our secure website (www.ssfw.org).

Volunteer Program

There are a variety of ways and opportunities for individuals and groups to volunteer at SSFW. 

Volunteer your time and talents in the office, becoming a mentor, providing transportation or childcare, helping with maintenance at our facility, help with fundraising events, teach a life skill class, or any other creative way you would like to give of your time.

  • Our mentoring program called, “Into the Heart,” matches the mothers with other mature women to help them overcome loneliness.  This is accomplished through strong healthy friendship.  The mentor gives spiritual support and encouragement to the mother to help her achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle for her and her children.
All volunteers are provided an orientation to help their success at SSFW.  Contact us to sign up as a volunteer (626/974-1162 or staff@ssfw.org).

Gifts-in-Kind Donations

Our home needs the same things your home needs, i.e., paper goods, cleaning supplies, toiletries, infant & toddler supplies (diapers, pull-ups, wipes), grocery store gift cards and certificates, bus passes, inspirational materials (DVDs, games, books), etc.  All gifts are promptly acknowledged and receipted through the mail.
