We know everyone has heard of the disastrous fires in Southern California. We do have chapters near those areas.

We know chapters across the country are concerned for the sister chapters in California. So far, we have not heard of chapter members having losses from the fire, but as we’re sure you understand, communication with everyone in Southern California is difficult right now.

Rest assured that we are reaching out to the chapters near the fires, and as soon as we hear anything, we will tell everyone what we know.

If members do have a loss, then the Mother-To-Mother Fund is ready to help. That is our charity for assisting members who suffer from devastating financial emergencies or natural disasters.

We do not encourage direct chapter-to-chapter contact, because that could put chapters at risk of fraudulent requests. All Mother-To-Mother Fund requests are vetted so we know the need is real.

Also, chapter members that have emergency needs always need money most, while most chapters who want to help want to donate things (clothing, toys, diapers) to the moms-in-need. Those kinds of donations can be very hard to match up and ship. The Mother-To-Mother Fund only gives financial grants to the mothers-in-need so they can use it for whatever needs are most pressing at the time.

If you want to help, please donate to the Mother-To-Mother Fund. That is the quickest, easiest and most secure way to ensure that MOMS Club members-in-need get the help they need most. You can donate via the momsclub.org website. Go to the “Support MOMS Club” menu “M2M Fund Donation” and scroll down to “Donate Now.”
