One Year Already?! Thrive Resource Hub Celebrates A Year of Impact, Growth, and Resilience.

March 23rd, 2025, marks ONE YEAR since Thrive Resource Hub's founding, and what an impactful year it has been! Over the past 12 months, we've had the privilege of supporting over 50 moms in meaningful ways, thanks to our dedicated partners, sponsors, and donors.

Our Impact in Year One

In just one year, Thrive Resource Hub has proudly provided:

• Emergency Financial Assistance to our solo moms in Ramsey County facing unexpected hardships, including rent, car repairs, child care expenses, and groceries.

• Free House Cleanings through our partnership with Crystal Quartz Cleaning. Jasmine, the owner is also a single mother and entrepreneur who has a heart to help support other solo mothers relieve the added stress of cleaning. During these house cleanings, Jasmine is usually conversing and getting to know the moms a bit better, giving the opportunity to continue to build community. If you're a solo mom who would like this service, please click here to register for your free house cleaning!

• Christmas Giveaway that brought joy and relief to 5 moms and their families during the holiday season. Thank you to our generous sponsors who personally shopped for each child & family during this season. It was greatly appreciated!

• 35% Off Weekly Childcare  with GradePower, making childcare more accessible for working moms who do not qualify for tradiaitonal childcare assistance. GradePower is conveniently located near Highway 280 on the border of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. GradePower is open Monday-Saturday and even includes evening hours, allowing solo moms more flexibility to work non traditional hours while not having to worry about adequate child care. Currently accepting enrollment for children ages 6 weeks-12 years.

• Monthly Mom Meetups in collaboration with MommyCo and Emerge Mothers Academy, offering moms the opportunity to connect, unwind, and build community with likeminded women in similar walks of life. Monthly Mom Meetups are facilitated by Rekita and Alyshia.

• Homeownership Preparation with our CSE Single Mom Homeownership Cohort.

We Graduated 7 Moms in our first cohort, equipping them with the tools to begin their journey to homeownership.

We have since successfully launched our second cohort with support from Bell Bank, American Family Insurance, Corissa Sutton Enterprises, Alysha Price with The Price Dynamic, Emerge Mothers Academy, and Alyshia Jackson with MommyCo. Another 7 Moms will graduate from our second cohort at the end of April.

We are incredibly proud of these achievements, and we couldn't have done it without the generosity of our supporters. Every donation, sponsorship, and act of kindness has played a crucial role in empowering moms to Thrive. Click here to donate to help support these solo moms and their families.
