Bank of America Client Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee has awarded Mothers Helping Mothers $35,000 in grant funding to increase their capacity to serve families in need in Sarasota County. The span and scope of services provided at Mothers Helping Mothers have skyrocketed in the past year necessitating additional space. This project will add 1,700 square feet to the building by creating a new second-floor area and provide for the installation of an elevator. For over 30 years, Mothers Helping Mothers (MHM) has been supporting local families in need by fostering resiliency, self-sufficiency, and family stability. Mothers Helping Mothers is a volunteer only staff providing programs and services to over 2,500 families and 5,000 children annually. “MHM expanded our footprint and services in 2020 with the purchase of our building, but now, with the increasing number of families seeking our assistance, and the significant number of donations and support materials necessary to support our mission, we desperately need additional space,” states Cheri DeVries, Executive Director at Mothers Helping Mothers. She adds, “We are so thankful for the grant from Bank of America Client Foundation which will help us achieve our goal.”
