Due to unexpected construction delays, Mothers Helping Mothers will be closed Thursday evening and Friday for donations and client appointments. If you had an appointment scheduled, please check your text messages and email for important updates and rescheduling information.
While we take gently used clothes of all kinds, we believe every child deserves a new pair of socks and undies which are generously supplied at every appointment thanks to our partnership with Bombas Socks and by community donations and donor drives.
Supporting Families in Sarasota and Manatee County by building resiliency, self-sufficiency, and stability since 1990.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and 1st Saturday of the month between 8:30am – 1pm.
