The MOMS Club®

The MOMS (MOMS Offering Moms Support) Club is an international, non-profit support group for mothers (whether stay-at-home, work-at-home or working) and their children. The club supports moms through planned activities, opportunities to talk with other mothers, and ways to create memorable experiences with their children. The Moms Club is a service-based organization that also coordinates various service projects in the community to benefit different organizations throughout the year.
