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.
The chapter she started was so successful, she knew mothers in other areas must
be needing MOMS Club, too. Soon she and other volunteers were helping mothers start MOMS Clubs across the country and
around the world.
We now have over 2,000 chapters with more than 100,000 members across the United
States. There are MOMS Club chapters in seven countries - Canada, Czech Republic, Ghana, Italy, Nigeria, Portugal and
the United States. The MOMS Club is a nonprofit corporation and a 501 (c) (3) publicly-supported charity registered
with the IRS.
The MOMS Club of Champlin/Anoka/Dayton, MN was started in May of 2000. The club is led
by an executive board who works with a representative from the International MOMS Club® to
help us provide support to our club and community.
