Supportive "Mom" Groups in East Nashville

Mothers on a Mission: Mission Statement/Pledge: Mothers on a Mission’s pledge is to help build strong relationships between mothers and their children through volunteering, community outreach, school involvement, leadership and most importantly to show love so that the world will know that the children are our future.

Mothers on a mission are looking for positive mothers with children ages 15 and under who would like to join this great group of women. For only $20 you and your children will gain a family. They only meet one Saturday out of the month for a couple of hours so it does not take a lot of your time. Please “like” them on Facebook @ MothersonaMission(MOM)@facebook.com and check out all they have done. If you or any positive mom is interested please call/text Ross Elementary parent Deneka @615-730-0493 or email at MothersonaMission@hotmail.com!
