Be the Hands and Feet of Love: Volunteer for SMILE’s Single Mother’s Day Celebration!

Join Us in Creating an Unforgettable Day

Be part of something truly meaningful at SMILE’s Single Mother’s Day Celebration on Saturday, May 16th, 2026. This year’s theme, Your Story Matters: For Such a Time as This, is all about reminding single moms that their lives have purpose, their voices matter, and their stories are still being written with intention and hope.

This special day is designed to honor, uplift, and encourage local single moms through meaningful connection, intentional care, and joyful experiences. We can’t create this kind of atmosphere without compassionate and dedicated volunteers like you.

Whether you enjoy serving behind the scenes or connecting with people face-to-face, there’s a place for you. From warmly welcoming moms to helping create meaningful moments throughout the event, your presence will help communicate a powerful message: your story matters, and you are here for a purpose.


Volunteer Dress Code

To help create a beautiful and elevated experience for our moms, we ask that all volunteers (except those serving in childcare) dress nicely. This can include:

  • A nice shirt and pants
  • A skirt or dress
  • Business casual or semi-formal attire

Comfortable shoes are encouraged, especially if you’ll be on your feet serving at tables or assisting with activities.

Together, let’s create an atmosphere that reflects the heart of this day—one where every mom feels seen, valued, and reminded that her story truly matters.
