Frequently Asked Questions
What is MOMS Club? MOMS Club stands for MOMS Offering Moms Support.  It was founded in 1983 by a woman named Mary James, an at-home mother in California.  She wanted to create a support system for all at-home mothers where their children were welcome and they could get the support they need. Today, MOMS Club is an international support system with chapters all over the world.  We offer activities during the day when you and your children are home alone.

Do I have to come to every event? No. Some members attend all the events while others may only attend one or two events per month. Whatever fits your schedule!

What happens at the monthly meetings? We go over various club business issues such as budgets, upcoming events, past events, and committee reports. We also usually have a guest come to do activities with the kids or a speaker come to talk about issues with the moms. It is a great way to meet new members or to reconnect with others.

Are my children welcomed at  your events? Not only are they welcome, they are expected!

How much are your dues? Dues are $20 per year. Your dues help cover the cost of clerical supplies, postage, a yearly registration fee, and room rental for our meetings and parties. At any time, a member may ask to see the club's budget and financial records.

Do I have to join before I can attend an event? No. You can come to up to two publicly held events before you become a member. For safety reasons, a non-member is not allowed at events held at member's homes.

I work part-time, can I still join? Yes. If you are available during the day when most of our events are held, you will still benefit from being a member. We have lots of moms that are working part time.

Do I have to live in East Pittsburgh to be a member? Sort of. We serve all of east PIttsburgh, but if you live elsewhere, you can check here to see if there is a MOMS club closer to you! And, you can always start your own chapter if there isn't one near you.

How do I find a chapter in my area? If your town is not served by our chapter, please contact International MOMS Club.  They will be happy to assist you in finding a chapter near you.

What kind of activities do you have? We have tons of activities and clubs for both you and your children. Visit our activities page for more information.

Once my children enter school, will I need to leave the group? Absolutely not! You will still need support once your children enter school. Members are welcomed to stay with the group for as long as they like!

Are you affiliated with any religious organization?
