MOMS Club growing throughout Bergen County, New Jersey

Bergen County, New Jersey:  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 for at-home mothers, and the MOMS Club was born.  MOMS stands for Moms offering Moms support.

 

The chapter she started was so successful, she knew mothers in other areas must be needing the MOMS Club, too. Soon she and other volunteers were helping mothers start mom’s clubs across the country and around the world!

There now are 2,100+ chapters in the US alone and over 110,000 members, with international chapters also forming.

Locally, those interested can reach Vickie Payne at 973-893-8020, who stated,

“Are you are a stay at home or part time working mom or dad? We are building a group 

who support one another as we stay at home to raise our children. We contribute to the communities that we live in to make them better and more vibrant places for our children to develop and thrive.

We have monthly meetings that are a great way to meet us and see if you want to be part of our group.  Bring your kids and meet some new moms and dads. And yes, dads are also welcome. Included in what we do is create play dates, work on special nights out, set up service projects, discussion topics and equally important we are there to support each other.”

Jennifer Darby Metzger, Broker Co-owner of ERA Justin Realty located at 118 Jackson Avenue, Rutherford, New Jersey stated, “We have donated both our large conference room which can comfortably accommodate more than 40 of us plus an extra room that has been set up as a playroom for the kids while we are meeting. It’s a win-win for us. We are excited to have this facility available for the MOMS CLUB for our monthly meetings. Come check us out.”
