Origins of Mocha Moms Newark
The
Newark Chapter
was founded in 2001 by Kelly G., a transplanted Ohio native who arrived in Delaware with a new home, a growing family and needing the support, fellowship and shared
experiences that being a Mocha Mom offered.
She activated our chapter in 2001 with the help of 7 other charter members, and the support and guidance of members
of the Burlington County
NJ Chapter of Mocha Moms.
We
are now celebrating the start of our 4th year, and we are going strong with 30+ active members.
Our members come from all walks of life,
and bless our membership with a variety of talents and expertise. They enjoy the comfort and fellowship of sharing time
with women in similar seasons of motherhood through bi-monthly support meetings, moms' only activities, playgroups,
field trips, community service projects and couples activities.
