Ever feel like you're the only mother who stays home? 
The MOMS Club is a wonderful way to meet other at-home mothers who share your interests and concerns. With the MOMS Club, you have enriching activities for you and your children, during the day when you need support the most. And remember, with the MOMS Club, you can participate AND bring your children along. We believe that having children around is a natural part of being a mother. Having children and choosing to raise them ourselves should not isolate mothers-at-home!!

How did MOMS Club begin?
MOMS Club® was started in the fall of 1983 by our founder Mary B. James, when she, as a Stay-At-Home-Mom in California, decided she was tired of being alone at home. She wanted to meet other SAHM's and she wanted to find other SAHChildren for her children to play with. When she discovered there were no other organizations that met during the day and allowed her to come with her baby and preschooler, she decided to start a brand new organization just for SAHM's. MOMS Club was born. The first local chapter was MOMS Club of Simi Valley, CA. Word spread about the wonderful support that MOMS Club offered Stay-At-Home-Moms and we became a National organization in 1985 - and an International organization in 1996.

MOMS Club® is an IRS registered 501(3) nonprofit charitable support group for at-home mothers.  There are now more than 100,000 members and over 2000 chapters in the US alone in addition to a growing number of international chapters.

MOMS Club of Antioch - ASL (American Sign Language) Playgroup

This group will be open to all members of the MOMS Club of Antioch, IL.  It will be a forum for moms and their children to gather while teaching, watching and learning sign language.  This is not professionally taught, however it is a group that is extremely interested in learning ways to communicate with their children through sign language and with the deaf community.

Community Project - "Coats for Kids"
Fall of 2008

We will be accepting all "gently worn" and new winter clothing items including coats, gloves, hats, scarves and boots for infants, toddlers and children. These winter items will be donated to children who attend the schools in the cities of Antioch, Lake Villa and Lindenhurst and are in need of them. If the items are too small for school age children they will be used to fulfill a need of a sibling. If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause and help keep the children in our area warm please go to our contact page to email our chapter.
