Did you know that28% of householdsin Allegheny County are headed by a single mom? The organization When She Thrives is dedicated to equipping single mothers to move from poverty to prosperity through advocacy, education, and personal and professional development.
Every year, the nonprofit honors these moms with a pajama drive to make them feel a little extra special — and snug — during the winter months. They’re looking for volunteers to drive around the ‘Burgh and deliver these cozy bundles.
