The MOMS Offering Moms Support Club is a non-profit support group for stay-at-home or part-time working mothers and their children. Collectively this organization has over 2,000 chapters in seven countries. This page is dedicated to the MOMS Club® of Portland West Hills, OR chapter.
Our Club offers a wealth of activities including:
 Monthly Meetings At the monthly Members Meeting, informative speakers discuss topics related to families and children. At the monthly Social, both moms and children participate in activities while getting to know club members.
Special Interest Groups Moms can participate in one of many special interest groups including Coffee/Tea Talk, Book Club, Meal Co-op, Stroller Walks/Workouts, Babysitting Co-op and Craft N' Scrap.
MOMS Night Out One night each month an activity is planned where moms get together for an evening of fun. Recent activities have included a wine tasting party, fondue night, a night at the driving range, a luxurious spa night and more.
Regularly Scheduled Events and Activities Moms with children of all ages meet for outings such as trips to the zoo, play dates at the park, nature walks or library story time. Monthly get-togethers include Family Pizza & Movie Night and Moms 'N Muffins. We also have annual events such as the Family Picnic during the summer and holiday parties.
Community Service Projects Moms and their children participate in helping various causes in the Portland metropolitan area and nationally such as the Oregon Food Bank Learning Gardens, the Hillsboro Family Resource Center and St. Jude's Ranch for Children.
Special Field Trips Moms and their children get together to tour and learn about various local attractions such as the fire station, the pumpkin patch, the berry farm, Bob's Red Mill and the Portland Police Bureau’s Mounted Patrol Unit.
Age-Related Playgroups Moms and their children are grouped into playgroups based on the child’s age. Playgroups meet regularly at various venues.
What is my obligation if I choose to join?
It's easy! Members are not required to participate in any activity or belong to any committee. Twice a year, members are asked to serve on a small team which comes up with outing ideas for the monthly calendar. They come up with 1-2 ideas twice per year. Other than that small task, each mom decides how much or how little participation is best for her and her family.
What is the cost?
Dues are $27 per year and cover supplies, postage, newsletter preparation, national registration fees, membership pins, etc. The MOMS Club is registered with the IRS as a non-profit organization, and all officers and coordinators are volunteers.
No mother will be left out of the MOMS Club because of financial status. If your family is unable to pay the dues, please contact any board member to have the dues reduced or waived. This information will remain confidential.
We want you and your children to join us. There are always other ways to contribute to the club.
Come and meet us.
Please feel free to attend up to two activities/meetings before deciding whether or not to join.
