Dothan, Ala. – Dothan Housing is launching a new initiative to uplift one of the community’s most resilient yet underserved groups: single mothers facing economic hardship. On Saturday, May 3, 2025, the organization will host its inaugural Mother’s Day Women Empowerment Event, a day dedicated to celebrating and supporting low-income single mothers in the Wiregrass area.
The event will offer a mix of inspiration, resources, and pampering aimed at reminding these women that they are not alone in their journey. Highlights will include motivational speakers, wellness and resource booths, self-care packages, refreshments, and special gifts—all intended to provide emotional and practical support.
“This event is about more than just celebrating Mother’s Day,” said a representative from Dothan Housing. “It’s about recognizing the strength of these women and letting them know that their community sees them, values them, and stands with them.”
To bring this vision to life, Dothan Housing is calling on local businesses and community members to contribute. The organization is currently accepting monetary donations, in-kind items such as gift cards or products, and event sponsorships. All donors and sponsors will be publicly acknowledged during the event, across promotional materials, and on social media—unless they prefer to remain anonymous.
Supporters are encouraged to respond by Monday, April 28, 2025, to ensure adequate time for event planning and coordination.

“This is a powerful opportunity to give back and make a real difference in the lives of women who give so much of themselves every day,” the representative added. “We’re excited to see the community come together to make this a day these mothers will never forget.”
