Program Policies:

• One Request per Family per Cycle: Families may apply for assistance once every 90 days (quarterly). This allows us to support as many families as possible with our available resources. After receiving assistance, families are welcome to reapply in the next cycle.

• Application Review and Response: Applications are reviewed within 1–2 business days. A team member will contact you within 24–48 business hours to confirm details and next steps.

• Pickup/Delivery of Items: Once approved, we will coordinate pickup or delivery within 2 business days. The entire process typically takes 3–5 business days from application review to receiving items.

• Follow-Up Communication: By applying, families agree to be contacted by The Mom Cave team for follow-up to ensure support and gather feedback.
