About Us!
We are the only international support group specifically for all at-home mothers.
We believe that staying home to raise our children is a fulfilling full-time job.
In fact, we think it is one of the most important jobs any mother can choose.
The MOMS Club was started in 1983 by our founder Mary B. James, an at-home
mother in California who decided she was tired of being home alone.
Now we have over 1500 local chapters with 75,000+ members across the country.
The Charlottesville area chapter was started in November 2002 with only a handful of members,
now we have over 100 members divided between two Charlottesville area clubs.

Our Goals:
• To provide a support group for mothers who choose to stay at home to raise their children.
• To provide a forum for topics of interest to mothers.
• To help children in the community.
• To perform at least one service project yearly helping needy children.

Our Principles:
• That women must be free to choose their personal path to fulfillment.
• That, for women who choose it, raising children is an important and fulfilling full-time job.
• That a family's decision for a mother to stay at home to raise the children
often involves considerable financial sacrifice.
• That there is no one right way to raise children, but our members have a common concern
in raising their children in a healthful way.
