| Mothers & More Chapter 181, St. Joseph County |
Our Mission Statement -- Mothers & More is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of mothers through support, education and advocacy. We address mothers’ needs as individuals and members of society, and promote the value of all the work mothers do.
Meetings
We meet the 2nd Monday and the 4th Tuesday of each month at Martin's Supermarket on the corner of South Bend Avenue and Ironwood Drive in South Bend. Meetings are from 6:45-8:30pm.
We usually go out for drinks afterwards as well!
Even if you can't make the meeting time join us for drinks and appetizers if you would like--we will be at Applebee's on Main Street in Granger after the Monday meetings and Hacienda on Grape Road after the Tuesday meetings.
Who are we?
We are a group of moms, just like you!
We have moms in their 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's! We have newborns, toddlers, grade-schoolers, high-schoolers, college students--even grandkids! We all have changed our lives since having kids. Some of us are employed for pay (whether it be full-time, part-time or from our homes), some of us are not. Some of us wish we did get to go to an office everyday where someone else is there to clean up!
We have members from all over the South Bend-Mishawaka-Granger area and even some from Niles & Edwardsburg, MI. (There are also chapters in Elkhart and Southern St Joseph County.)
Some of us joined for our kids. Some of us joined for us. Either way we are all happier because of the friendships we have made, our children have made and even our husbands have made because of this group.
Some of us are new to the area. Some of us grew up here. We are all learning from each other not only about the best places to play, eat and shop for our families but also how to be the best we can be as mothers and as women.
Because Moms need playgroups too...
