Since we’re on a numbers kick, how about a few fast facts about single parents?
- 130,000 single parents — about two out of five families — in Arkansas are raising kids alone.
- 35% of single parents in Arkansas live below the poverty line compared to only 9% of married parents.
- From a recent survey of ASPSF scholarship recipients:
- 66% don’t receive court-ordered child support.
- 50% work full-time while in school.
- 100% are food insecure.
Your gift for National Single Parent Day feeds families, pays bills, and keeps single parents in school!
