The goal of the Advocacy Committee of Mothers & More is to find worthwhile causes to donate our time and energy toward in our community. Volunteer Opportunities and Charitable Donations Our group is currently collecting gently used or new children's books. We will deliver the books to Half Price Books for their Half Pint Drive. The books will be distributed at Parkland Medical Center for their young patients. Our group plans to visit Senior citizens at Plano Community Homes in March. The residents are senior citizens over the age of 62 and living on a fixed income. Mothers and their children will have an opportunity to participate in this outreach activity. We will visit, work on crafts and maybe play a game. More details will be announced soon. If you have an idea for the Advocacy Committee, or you would like to get involved with this group, contact the Advocacy Coordinator. |

"Family-Friendly" Businesses and Employers Each year, Mothers & More awards a local business and a local employer their Family-Friendly Business Award. This is our group's way of recognizing an employer or a business that goes out of their way to make their facilities or atmosphere welcoming to families. Mothers & More members can nominate any type of business for one of these awards. If you are interested in nominating a business, contact the Advocacy Coordinator. Let us know why you think that business should be recognized. Award winners receive a plaque, as well as published articles praising their business for being family-friendly. | ||||
