FPS has chosen to participate in the Bare Necessities donation program for Singleton Moms.  We would like to ask our community to help us in this cause.

 

Singleton Moms is a small, Arizona-based non-profit organization. They are dedicated to nurturing single parents battling cancer and their minor children. They do this by meeting the practical day-to-day needs of the entire family, while providing hope for tomorrow. Their resources are based solely upon community support. Donor support allows them to reach more parents. The single most impactful way you can make a difference in the lives of these families is by making a contribution. This enables them, through their essential programs to reach more single Arizona parents struggling to simply make it through the day-to-day challenges while battling cancer.
