Our Local Chapter

The Merrimack Valley Chapter of Mothers & More was founded in 1995 by women seeking to end the isolation they felt as stay-at-home moms. Today, we have about 45 members from many towns in the Merrimack Valley area, including Tewksbury, Lowell, Dracut, Billerica, Andover, and Wilmington. Many communities offer mothers' groups and/or mom-and-tot activities through churches, libraries, and parks. What sets us apart is our focus on women as individuals, not solely in their role as mothers. While all mothers have parenting in common, we also have a common need (too often neglected or denied) to acknowledge and accommodate our own personal interests, concerns, and abilities as capable, intelligent, vital women.

Mothers & More chapter meetings provide a place for women to voice the emotional and practical issues they face making the transition from being "out in the world" to being at home (as well as other transitions that motherhood can bring) and to explore together avenues for self-fulfillment (returning to school, becoming active in the community, developing sustaining friendships, pursuing personal interests, working outside the home) during their parenting years.

Our Mission

Mothers & More is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of mothers through support, education and advocacy. We address mothers' needs as individuals and members of society, and promote the value of all the work mothers do.
