History

The MOMS Club began in 1983 when Mary James, an at-home mother in California, decided she was tired of being alone at home. She wanted to meet other at-home mothers and she wanted to find other at-home children for her children to play with. When she discovered there were no other organizations that met during the day and allowed her to come with her baby and preschooler, she decided to start a brand new organization just for at-home mothers, and the MOMS Club was born.

Goals

• To provide a support group for mothers who choose to stay at home to raise their children
• To provide a forum for topics of interest to mothers
• To help children in the community
• To perform at least one service project yearly helping needy children
