MOMS Club® of Gardner, KS Our chapter takes
great pride in supporting our community by participating in a variety of service
projects.
Projects that our chapter participated in are the following:
2007-2008
 | PB & J Food Drive - This year we collected tons of lunch food
items for families in need. We donated the food to our local food pantry
for families who need to feed school aged children in the summer time.
|
 | Adopt a Family - At Christmas time we adopted a family with 2
children from our local community. We showered them with gifts from their
Christmas list and provided a huge basket of food for them. |
 | Care packages to our Men and Women in the United States Military
- Members donated items to fill up 6 care packages to send over seas. |
2006-2007
 | Birthday Party Bags - Members donated supplies to put together
birthday bags for families that are less fortunate. We put cake mixes,
candles, cups, plates, decorations, etc in the bag. The families were then
set with a complete "party in a bag"! These were done through the Gardner
Mulit-Service Center. |
 | Visits to the Assisted Living/Nursing Home Center - We caroled
at Christmas time and then at the beginning of spring we had a spring
fashion show for the residents and the kids modeled as the moms read a
short poem about the outfit they were wearing!

2005-2006
 | ShoeBox Project- Each member gathered items for children in
need. Each child got a shoebox gift from us with various items in each
one. We put together about 6 shoeboxes. We did this project around
Christmas time with the help of the Nazarene Church in Gardner. |
 | Birthday Parties - Almost every month our members get together to celebrate MOMS and
children's birthday's. We have been visiting an Assisted Care facility to get
to know some the folks that live there. |
