Mothers & More of Greater Grand Rapids

	Chapter #137
	Grand Rapids, Michigan

Our Mission:
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.

Mothers & More is an international organization:

Serving over 7,500 mothers in the U.S. and beyond, Mothers & More is a non-profit membership organization that cares for the caregiver. We provide a network of local chapters for mothers who are – by choice or circumstance – altering their participation in the paid workplace over the course of their active parenting years. Our chapters are structured to support a mother as she navigates the challenges of her daily life - whether she is a full-time family caregiver or struggling to achieve a better balance between the demands of paid work and family care.

our local greater grand rapids chapter:

Mothers & More has been supporting moms in Greater Grand Rapids for 10 years! Our chapter provides opportunities for mothers to connect with one another in ways that enable them to develop their unique identities as women and help them move more confidently through the transitions that affect their family, work and life. We also provide a network of support for moms through an environment in which friendships can be cultivated. We are there for each other whenever help is needed, or whenever we need someone to celebrate with!

If you are looking for a group where you can be both challenged and entertained while relaxing and just being yourself, then look no further than your local Mothers & More chapter. Our members come from every walk of life and have very diverse professional backgrounds. What we all have in common is our need for support and some good old fashioned fun! So come join us for a meeting and check us out!

Mothers & more Beliefs:

A mother is more than any single role she plays at any given point in her lifetime. She is entitled to fully explore and develop her identity as she chooses: as a woman, a citizen, a parent or an employee.
All the work mothers do – whether paid or unpaid - has social and economic value.
All women deserve recognition and support for their right to choose if and how to combine parenting and paid employment.
All mothers, all children and all families are unique. We respect the wisdom of each mother to decide how to care for her children, her family and herself.
Mothers have the right to fulfill their care giving responsibilities without incurring social and economic penalties.
The transitions women make into and through motherhood are challenging and can be difficult.
Together, mothers are powerful.
