Membership Benefits
-
Private Groups
Access to all of our private social channels including both a Moms & More private Facebook group and a private Buy/Sell/Trade page - a safe space to ask all your parenting, or rather adulting questions, and the best place to find quality used baby gear, home decor, workout equipment, & more!
-
Children's Events
We offer a variety of children’s events at local play or art studios, parks, playgrounds, and more. Events are appropriate for ages 0-5 with options to fit everyone’s (nap) schedule.
-
More Nights Out
Whether you are looking for a sweat session, private shopping experience, happy hour, or book club, we offer parent-only events to fit every interest!
-
Playgroups
Looking for an informal play opportunity? We match playgroup members by age so you can experience the different stages of early childhood together. Enjoy the flexibility to choose playdates when it works best for you!
-
TLC/Meal Train
Our TLC committee organizes the delivery of 3 dinners for members after welcoming a new baby or during difficult times. It is our hope that each member will commit to one meal delivery each year. Meals can be ready-made from the grocery store, gift cards to local restaurants, or gourmet from your own kitchen -- it's up to you!
-
Charity/Community Outreach
It can be hard to find opportunities to give back when you’re giving your all to your family. We organize opportunities to create an impact in our community, and start teaching our children about being compassionate citizens.
-
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We offer activities, events, and educational opportunities to learn from the different cultures, religions, and ethnicities within our own community. We create a safe space to spread awareness and share in our commonalities and differences.
-
Membership Events
We offer a variety of membership events such as Member Appreciation and Spring Fling. Moms & More is the host for the annual Halloween Stroll.
Purchase Membership
Our annual membership is offered at $45 per year. As a non-profit volunteer run organization, the membership fee goes directly towards subsidizing event costs as well as the overhead of maintaining the organization.
As a member, you gain access to playgroups, children's events, parent's night out, TLC and more!

We do not cap any age group! Our children's events focus on 0-5 year olds. We know that once elementary school starts, kids are involved in school, sports, etc.
Our More Night Out events, Facebook community, and membership-wide events are for parents of all age children. So even when your kids are exploring school-age options, there is still community and fun for you!
