As a non-profit organization the MOMS Club® of St. Augustine-North, FL is actively involved in supporting local charities, in particular those who attempt to meet the needs of children and families in our community.
We also support the MOMS Club® Mother-to-Mother Fund. This fund was established by the International MOMS Club to assist members who have experienced a catostrophic event.
