DAY1DADS IMPACT FOUNDATION
OUR MISSION IS TO BRING VITAL SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SUPPORTS TO FATHERS AND THEIR FAMILIES
Hey Dad Care Card
The Hey Dad initiative is our way of supporting fathers who, like us, are navigating the complexities of parenthood. We understand the challenges and the triumphs that come with being a dad, and we’re here to make the journey a little easier.
Subsidized Services
The Hey Dad Care Card offers access to over $1,000 in subsidized services, including mental health support, counseling, and community resources. These services are designed to support dads in their roles as caregivers, helping them maintain their well-being and continue being the pillars their families need.
Wear With Care
Our Hey Dad merchandise is more than just clothing—it’s a lifeline. Each piece is thoughtfully designed with a scannable QR code sewn directly onto it, giving you instant access to essential services and support networks. When you wear Hey Dad apparel, you’re not only showing your support for a movement dedicated to helping fathers thrive, but you’re also carrying a resource that can make a real difference.

Hey MOM Care Card
Just as Hey Dad was created to support fathers, Hey Mom was born from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by mothers. Our personal experiences with single moms—our own mothers—have profoundly shaped who we are today. They did it all, raising us with unwavering strength and love. Now, they continue to inspire us as amazing and involved grandparents.
In recognition of their sacrifices and the incredible roles they’ve played in our lives, we are committed to bringing together a team of strong, capable women to lead this initiative. Our mothers are the reason we are here, and this is our way of paying it forward—by helping other mothers through Hey Mom. We aim to build a community of shared experiences, meaningful connections, and access to essential resources, empowering mothers to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Just as we’ve successfully created a supportive network for dads, we are dedicated to doing the same for moms.
