Welcome to the Mothers and More Bergen County Chapter!

Mothers & More is a non-profit organization that cares for the caregiver. We provide opportunities for mothers to connect with one another in ways that assist them in developing their unique identities as women and help them move more confidently through the transitions that affect their family, work and life. Mothers & More provides a variety of ways for like-minded women to connect with one another locally, globally, personally, professionally and virtually.
