The Singletons

What The Singletons does

The Singletons is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 2832 East Bell Road, Phoenix, Arizona, dedicated to serving single-parent families in which the parent is actively battling cancer (defined as receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or recovering from cancer-related surgery, with minor children living at least 50% of the time in the home). Founded in 2005 in tribute to Michelle Singleton, a single mother of four who died of cancer in October 2005, and rebranded in 2020 from Singleton Moms to The Singletons, the organization delivers a coordinated portfolio of five free programs anchored at The HUB community center: Singletons Kitchen (nutritious prepared family meal kits), Bare Necessities (household essentials such as laundry detergent and paper goods), Seeds of Strength (wellness and life-skills workshops covering small-space gardening, cooking, and youth financial literacy), Singletons Kids (experiences and gifts for beneficiary children), and Care Day Distribution (monthly in-person distribution event held every third Saturday). Volunteer drivers also deliver meal kits and supplies directly to family homes.

The operating model is service-based and volunteer-intensive; the organization reported 3,830 volunteer hours within a single year. Revenue is generated entirely through donations processed via the Network for Good portal, Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization tax credit donations (up to $470 individual / $938 joint filer credits), and signature fundraising events including Philanthropic Foodies (a Paradise Valley culinary event with James Beard Award-nominated chefs), Swing into Spring, Mad Hatter High Tea, and a golf tournament. Beneficiaries are reached through referrals from Arizona physicians, hospitals, social services, and word-of-mouth. Distribution channels are regional, confined to the Phoenix metropolitan area.

There is no proprietary technology product; the stack consists of a donation-processing SaaS integration (Network for Good) and a volunteer scheduling SaaS integration (SignUpGenius). The organization employs 12 staff members and is governed by a board including a Board President who is CEO of The RFP Success Company, a Vice President of Communications at Meritage Homes, and a Financial Adviser at Ameriprise Financial. Federal Tax ID is 35-2280372.

Regional players

• Meals on Wheels of Phoenix: Delivers nutritious meals to seniors and individuals in need across the Phoenix metropolitan area. Comparable in food preparation and volunteer-driven distribution model within the same geographic market, though serving different beneficiary population.
• Family Promise of Greater Phoenix: Phoenix-area nonprofit preventing and ending homelessness for families with children. Comparable regional nonprofit serving vulnerable Arizona families with wraparound services, though focused on housing stability rather than cancer-specific support.

Broad incumbents

• Susan G. Komen (Arizona): Major national breast cancer organization with an active Arizona affiliate providing direct support, screening, and patient navigation. Comparable in providing wraparound services to Arizona cancer patients but at much larger scale and broader patient base.

Emerging players

• Cleaning for a Reason: National nonprofit providing free house cleaning services to cancer patients undergoing treatment. Comparable focus on removing household burden during cancer treatment, demonstrating the niche of practical support services for cancer families.

Direct peers

• Lazarex Cancer Foundation: National nonprofit helping cancer patients access clinical trials and advanced treatment, with reimbursement for travel and lodging costs. Comparable focus on removing practical barriers so families can focus on treatment, though operates at a larger scale.
• Cancer Support Community Arizona: Arizona-based nonprofit providing free support services, education, and resources to people impacted by cancer. Directly comparable to The Singletons as both serve Arizona cancer families with holistic wraparound programs, though CSC is open to all cancer patients rather than single parents specifically.
• Ronald McDonald House Charities of Phoenix: Provides housing, meals, and support services to families with critically ill or injured children receiving treatment in the Phoenix area. Comparable mission of keeping families together during serious medical treatment with a physical facility serving as a community anchor.

Others

• Feeding America (partner network): Largest U.S. hunger-relief organization with a national network of food banks. Referenced in Singletons' website via Hermie's Story with Feeding America, indicating existing collaboration.
