More locations are coming soon across the state!National Single Parent Day is celebrated on March 21 thanks to Ronald Reagan marking the date to “recognize the contributions single parents are making, sometimes under great hardship.” Raising children alone presents unique challenges, and the stress shows: 33% of single parents in Arkansas live below the poverty line compared to only 7% of married parents, according to the U.S. Census. Yet single parents demonstrate remarkable courage and perseverance in providing for their families. Join ASPSF on March 20 to stand with single parents!
