    A FREE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY MOMS.

    The BFNC MOMMY MATTERS WAS CREATED AS A FORUM TO ADDRESS TOPICS MOTHERS MAY WISH TO KNOW OR LEARN MORE ABOUT IN A COMFORTABLE SETTING. THE MONTHLY SESSIONS ARE  developed to provide Mothers a little time to enjoy themselves, connect with other mothers  and be energized by the presenters and their selected topics. GUESTS CAN ATTEND IN PERSON OR BY ZOOM.

    There are raffles, refreshments and other FREE surprises.

    FEBRUARY 26, 2026  Mothers experienced time to focus on their physical and mental health.

    FEEL THE ENERGY and FUN!

    Mommy Matters: Part three (3)

    /in ,
    We are proud of the progress and thankful to the funders who saw the vision and need to help mothers take time to think about them.
    Mothers are known for taking care of everyone else but themselves. Recognizing this deep love and duty, we wanted to say YOU MATTER. Mothers Matter!
    We thank  Lynne Parker, A BFNC wellness champion and community partner, for embracing this program and volunteering to be a facilitator.
    The presenters have shared their messages about topics that impact mothers. Mothers have the opportunity to attend the conversation of their choice.
    Understanding flexibility is key; the third season of Mommy Matters will provide the opportunity for mothers to participate in person or via zoom.
