Dear Faith Leader
With the upcoming Rededicate 250 this weekend, we are reminded that America’s greatest need is not merely political strength, economic growth, or cultural renewal, but a humble return to the God who has sustained us from the beginning. In every season of our nation’s history, moments of true restoration have begun when God’s people turned their hearts back to Him in repentance, faith, and prayer.
We invite you to join us in praying that this would be such a restorative moment for our country. As we look ahead, let us pray that America would be rededicated to the Lord, that our leaders would seek His wisdom, that our families would be strengthened, and that our houses of worship would boldly proclaim the truth. Our hope is not in the power of man, but in the mercy and faithfulness of God.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
—Psalm 33:12

| New Initiatives to Support Families | |
The White House Announces New Support for Mothers and Families
In recognition of Mother’s Day, the White House announced a new set of initiatives aimed at lowering costs for families, expanding access to fertility care, and providing practical support for mothers across the country.
The announcement centered on a simple theme: “Strong families are the foundation of a strong nation.”
What was Announced
The White House highlighted several new and ongoing efforts, including:
-
New support for mothers through Moms.gov. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched the new site, a one-stop digital hub designed to help new and expectant mothers access resources and information.
-
Expanded access to fertility care. New federal guidance will encourage employers to provide fertility benefits, as well as efforts to lower treatment costs through TrumpRx.gov.
-
Childcare reforms aimed at lowering costs. The Administration is advancing new rules and guidance intended to reduce childcare costs for low-income families, expand provider choice, and give states more flexibility.
-
Greater childcare choices for parents. The childcare package seeks to encourage parent-directed options, including vouchers, and ensure that faith-based, community-based, and home-based providers can participate on equal footing.
-
Support for stay-at-home parents. New guidance through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) will clarify flexibility for married couples under the TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) work requirements, making it easier for some low-income families to choose a part or full-time stay-at-home parent.
-
Continued support for adoption and foster care. The White House also highlighted the First Lady’s Fostering the Future initiative, including scholarships, public-private partnerships, and support for youth transitioning out of foster care.
Why it Matters
For many families, childcare is one of the largest monthly expenses, at times competing with housing, food, and other essentials. The White House says these reforms are designed to reduce regulatory burdens, increase competition, and give parents more control over the care and formation of their children.
The Administration also emphasized that its broader family agenda includes tax relief for working families, support for rural health infrastructure, protection for religious liberty, school choice, and policies that promote work, family formation, and economic stability.
The White House stated, this administration’s “agenda places American families first — because when moms and families succeed, America succeeds.”

New Online Resource for Expectant Moms | |
Moms.gov Launched on Mother’s Day
The Trump Administration launched Moms.gov on Mother’s Day as a new online resource hub for expectant mothers, fathers, and families navigating difficult or unexpected pregnancies.
The website is designed to connect parents with practical information and support, including:
- Pregnancy and maternal health resources
- Breastfeeding and nutrition information
- Mental health support
- Adoption resources
- Health center information
- Details on Trump Accounts and other family-focused programs
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, “Moms.gov delivers critical tools and support to help parents foster healthy pregnancies, strengthen young families, and create brighter futures for their children.”
The launch reflects the Administration’s broader focus on supporting mothers, strengthening families, and helping parents access the resources they need in one easy-to-use place.
