Seven Homes is excited to announce its sponsorship of a MomCo group (formerly MOPS) created especially for single moms who are fostering, have adopted, have special needs children or are simply looking for meaningful connection and community.

Because caring for others is beautiful, but it can also feel lonely sometimes. You need people who understand, a place where you can show up as you are, and a community to walk alongside you. 🏡

This group is open to ANY single mom looking for friendship, encouragement, and a place to belong, you do not have to be connected with Seven Homes to join!

This group will be run by single moms, for single moms. Seven Homes is here to support you.
