Motherful

Who We Are

Motherful is a Black, Indigenous, Mothers of Color-led, multiracial grassroots collective of single mothers in Columbus, Ohio whose mission is to support, empower, and nurture single mother families through community, education, resources, arts and wellness. Founded in 2018 by single mothers for single mothers, Motherful is a living, breathing, radical vision of the collective future of motherhood. Our Collective currently has 250 members and growing.

Together with our partners, supporters and volunteers, we are creating food security and education through our Motherful Resource Garage, Food Pantry, and Community Garden , feeding up to 50+ families weekly since June 2020. Our semi-monthly Community Dinners bring the collective together for hundreds of meals shared and makes space for children to play and participate in activities at our sponsor site, the Gahanna Two Fifty Four Youth Center . Through our partnership with the Youth Center, our collective children have access to their excellent programming such as Homework Hangouts, Movie Nights, Teen Nights, and more.
