Meghan Sussex Teams Up With Moms Offering More to Support Single Mothers and Vulnerable Families

Meghan Sussex has another women-focused collaboration on the way, and this one comes with a very direct charitable purpose.

The Duchess of Sussex has partnered with Moms Offering More, or MOM, for a limited merchandise collaboration launching Oct. 11. The organization teased the drop as its next “mama’s edit,” with the MOM x Meghan, Duchess of Sussex collection set to go live at 7 a.m.

Moms Offering More is a community-driven philanthropic initiative founded by Kasondra Herrendorf-Cohen, with support from the Herrendorf Family Foundation. Its work focuses on single mothers, food security, childcare, financial assistance and families facing multiple barriers across the United States and Canada. The initiative also receives support from the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation.  

And importantly, this is not simply another celebrity merch drop with a vague promise to “give back.” MOM says 100% of proceeds from its merchandise go directly toward supporting single mothers and vulnerable families, made possible by support from the Herrendorf Family Foundation.

Women Supporting Women

This feels like a very natural fit for Meghan. Her advocacy around women and girls has followed her through her royal work, Archewell projects and business ventures, so collaborating with an organization centered on mothers supporting other mothers makes sense.

MOM’s broader work also goes beyond selling sweatshirts and accessories. The organization says it supports families through grants, food security, childcare and wraparound services, while its annual holiday hamper programme has grown from helping 13 families in 2021 to distributing more than 100 hampers in recent years.  

And I admit, I love the sentiment behind this one. Motherhood can be exhausting, expensive and isolating even when you have support. For women raising children alone or dealing with financial insecurity, the smallest bit of practical help can make an enormous difference.

MOM uses the phrase “It’s the little things in life that bring you happiness,” and that really does land differently once you become a parent. Sometimes it is not some huge life-changing moment. It is someone covering childcare, helping with groceries, giving you a little breathing room or simply reminding you that you are not doing everything alone.  

So yes, women supporting women. I am very much here for that. And if people are going to buy the merch anyway, knowing that the proceeds are going directly toward helping single mothers makes this one of those collaborations where shopping and supporting a cause actually meet in the middle.
