Who We Are
We are a committee of members who have volunteered to create an extension
of MOMS with a charitable purpose. We remembered how hard it was to function with
multiples, much less to have to struggle with financial issues.
Who We Help
We serve families in the Denver Metro Area ONLY
We assist a variety of families. Some families might need our assistance for a
grocery card to get them through until the next payday. Other families include
moms who suddenly find themselves single after the strain of multiples has broken
up their marriage. Some families might have other children and the surprise of
multiples has put a strain on their budget. Other families have children with serve
medical condition that have sent their family into a financial ruin. And some
families might have even more dire needs.
If you would like to apply for assistance please follow the link to fill out
an application or contact a committee member.
How Community Outreach Helps
We have helped families with buying diapers, formula, clothing and equipment,
as well as soliciting members for ideas with housing, transportation, day care and
other social services. We offer Christmas presents each December, as well as
baskets for the caregivers including health and safety needs for the entire family.
Twice a year during the MOMS Club Clothing & Equipment Sale, we offer families
the opportunity to "pre-shop" the items tagged "000", as well as
give them "Baby Bucks" to shop at the sale itself.

How MOMS Supports Community Outreach
We depend solely on the generosity and power of our membership! Our members have
many connections and have helped in many ways in the past; we continue to count on their
support, even today! We also depend on our membership to provide volunteers as support and
contact moms for our Community Outreach families.
How You Can Help Us
If you would like to help others and make a difference in someone's life as well as
work with some amazing women, consider being a part of Community Outreach! It is
unbelievably rewarding to have actual contact with the families we are helping, and
they are so grateful to have personal contact with our members.
We can always use MOMS Club members to become contact moms for the families we assist.
We have families in all parts of the Denver metro area that need assistance.

Current Events
Ongoing As a reminder, we are currently working with 20-25 families a month, helping
them with food, groceries, kid's clothes, toys, etc. We are still looking for
support mom volunteers to help with these families! Not only will you help them,
but you will receive tremendous spiritual satisfaction in helping multiples that
really need support. We are constantly receiving new families!
