How Our Programs Work Together

At Hope Unexpected, our programs are intentionally designed to work together – meeting immediate needs, spiritual needs, and building long-term stability and hope for the single mothers and children we serve.

Monday Meets: The Heart of Hope Unexpected

Monday Meets is the foundation of our organization and primary point of connection for the families we serve.

Each week the single moms and children we serve gather for:

  • A shared dinner
  • Faith-based conversations and encouragement
  • Faith-based children’s program for infant through eight-year-olds
  • Bi-weekly diapers and wipe distribution
  • Weekly gas cards

More than a weekly gathering – Monday Meets is a consistent community. It’s where relationships are formed, trust is built, and moms are reminded they belong.

Participation in Monday Meets opens the door to additional support programs – ensuring care is rooted in relationships.

 

Mentoring: One-on-One Support

Each mom we serve has the opportunity to be paired with a trained mentor who will provide:

  • Consistent one-on-one encouragement
  • Goal setting and accountability
  • Guidance related to education, employment, parenting, faith, and personal growth

Mentors walk alongside moms – listening, encouraging, and helping them take intentional steps toward independence – while remaining connected to the broader Hope Unexpected community.

Individual & Group Counseling: Professional Support for Healing & Growth

To support continued healing and growth, Hope Unexpected offers professional group and individual counseling through through our trusted partner counseling organizations.

Counseling supports:

  • Emotional & mental health
  • Healing from trauma & grief
  • Parenting & family dynamics
  • Children’s emotional & behavioral needs

This service works alongside mentoring and Monday Meets, ensuring moms receive both relational support and clinical care as part of a coordinated approach.
