Welcome to YAMM Fuel a Dream + GivingSeason 2024!
This year, to celebrate the holiday season, YAMM is participating in the 2024 GivingTuesday Giving Season, the global "Giving Back" movement is dedicated to unleashing generosity in humanity and transforming communities around the world during the Holiday season.
Are your values the same as ours? Did you know one-third of giving was given from Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to December 31 of every year?
​
At YAMM, we believe in empowering Millennials like Mickey, a single mother facing the challenges of raising six children while striving for success. With your support, we can provide essential resources to help her overcome economic barriers. By donating, you contribute to educational programs, mentorship, and skills training that foster economic mobility for struggling families.
​
The struggles of single mothers like Mickey reflect a broader issue affecting many Millennials today. Rising costs of living and limited job opportunities can hinder their ability to thrive. Your donation can make a significant impact, helping to create opportunities for young families to achieve their goals. Together, we can change lives and build a more equitable community.
​
Join us in our mission to support young families. For just $5, you’ll receive exclusive holiday cookie recipes while helping us empower those in need. Your generosity will help pave the way for a successful future for individuals like Mickey and countless others.

Giving Season is a global month of giving back. On the first day of December, people around the world will come together to celebrate generosity and make an impact.
