Welcome to Mocha Moms  PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER (MMPC)     The city of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection! MMPC Online is an informative site designed to connect stay-at-home mothers of color in the Philadelphia area to the local chapter as well as the National Organization. The website can be used as a resource for current members, prospective members or anyone else interested in our mission to provide a support system for at-home mothers of color as well as related topics. We are a diverse and dynamic group of mothers dedicated to the concept of at-home motherhood and the practice of supporting mothers who are exercising this lifestyle.   Established in 2002, the Philadelphia Chapter was the first formed in Pennsylvania and has spent the last five years developing our services to meet the needs of our members and enrich their lives. This focus has caused us to grow. And as a result the demand for our services and resources has also grown.   Today many of our members have eliminated employment altogether, while others work flex-time or have home-based businesses so they are more available for their family. Our common mission of mothering provides a support system for this lifestyle. And today we service members throughout the greater Philadelphia region.   MMPC would like to thank you for your interest in our our organization and this chapter.  We invite you to enjoy our site and encourage interested mothers to participate in our Support Groups (see the Calendar of Events for locations and times). To request more information about a meeting, send us an e-mail inquiry to mochamomsphilly@yahoo.com. You can also "Like" our Mocha Moms Philly page on Facebook! We would love to meet you!
