Loss of a MoMM Champion
The MoMM Foundation lost one of it's most stalwart supporters when Marina Davis went home to the Lord on Dec. 14th. Outstanding friend and educator, Marina will be greatly missed. Thanks to all of those who have made donations to the MoMM Foundation in Marina's honor. MoMM's central calling is to serve others in the name of a loved one passed, and these contributions in tribute to Marina will be put to good use serving those in need in Central Ohio.
Holiday Blessings 2009 - A HUGE SUCCESS!!
MoMM adopted 40 Central Ohio families this year! We at MoMM wish to thank the many volunteers who acted as liaisons and "team members," as well as Matthew 25, the Open Shelter, and all the other larger organizations that blessed so many families in our communities. Holiday Blessings was able to serve families from the Franklinton area, Southwestern City School District, Westerville, Dublin, Olentangy, Northland, and Southern Central Ohio. Children and parents/family members received a bounty of gifts and food, from a wonderful Thanksgiving meal through to Christmas delivery. God bless you all for your outstanding generosity!
Next MoMM Board Meeting:
Tuesday, February 9th at 7pm in Dublin Scioto HS, Room J6.

The Miracle of Mom’s Memory (MoMM) Foundation is dedicated to non-judgmentally executing the teachings contained in the Beatitudes in support of those in need in our community.
The Miracle of Mom's Memory is a community of caring people proactively fulfilling the needs of the less fortunate. We honor one person at a time and accomplish one act at a time.
MoMM is a group of people who believe it is each person’s responsibility to serve others and who choose to do so in memory of a loved one that has gone before us. MoMM’s objective is to address the needs of the poor, homeless, and less fortunate through mission-driven projects, information dissemination, and volunteering time in support of causes greater than ourselves.
Since its inception in early 2005, MoMM has raised thousands of dollars and has used that money to fulfill needs and transform lives. From donating a car to a man with no way to get to work, to securing a computer and academic software for a single mother of three, to furnishing school supplies to an eager but underprivileged 6th grader, MoMM has been there.
