Moms on a
Mission
Moms On a Mission (M.O.M.) is a program in which mothers and caregivers in West Baltimore collaborate to address issues that affect their children, families, and community. This project ensures those with the greatest stake in the conditions and outcomes of the community are the ones determining priorities, developing programs, connecting to resources, and implementing change. M.O.M. provides financial, organizational, and administrative support required for community members to bring effective, enduring solutions.

Action Planning and Work Day
Creating community and growing engagement requires a safe and welcoming space for families to gather. What better place than Saint Luke's. M.O.M.s hosted a charette with the youth and gathered together to set priorities and planning. First action initiative...work day in the yard.

M.O.M.s, along with our partners at Church of the Good Shepherd, Ruxton and West Baltimore Reniassance Foundation hosted a celebration of the holiday season. Food, music, family portraits, gifts, and fun abound! Tis' the season for family, love, community, and joy!
Leadership Development & Planning
No event can happen without the hard work and planning of our amazing M.O.M.s, Dads, and Friends. Two excellent leadership development and planning sessions took place in the fall. Wellness and collaboration were on the menu for these wonderful gatherings.
June Jubilee
M.O.M.s hosted a June Jubilee to celebrate all of the milestones that children had missed throughout the pandemic. The day included food, fun, photos, ice cream, games, and prizes. It was a remarkable end to a challenging school year!
Women's Retreat
May 2021 is for M.O.M.s, so a Women's Retreat was in order. It was time for our M.O.M.s to focus on themselves and their own needs for social and emotional well-being. The day was remarkable; a much needed opportunity for renewal and rejuvenation.
Community Cookout
April 2021 was time to socialize by hosting a socially distanced cookout. We had a great time with families, neighbors, and friends! There was lots of food, music, kids playing, and adults (and a couple kids) line dancing. It was a beautiful day!
Field Trip
In March 2021, M.O.M.s were ready for a field trip. Time to get out of our homes and out of our isolation. A COVID-safe field trip to the movies was just what the community ordered. 75+ community members traveled to Cinemark in Towson to see Tom and Jerry. 2 buses, 2 large movie auditoriums, large popcorn and large soda for all!
Care Packages
In February 2021, M.O.M.s put together over 65 care packages to support the health, safety, social, and emotional needs of our community. Packages were full of PPE, hats, gloves, Valentine treats, and more.
