The Moms on a Mission interest group of Jack and Jill recently hosted an interest meeting in mid-April.  The meeting was a formal “meet and greet” of the group was to familiarize themselves with the organization, network and develop strategies and initiatives that support and empower mothers and children in the community.  Organizing President, Tangela Kimber is the visionary behind bringing Jack and Jill to Valdosta and presented each mother with gifts. 

Jack and Jill, Inc. is a historical African American organization that involves mothers who have children from the age of 2-18.  The organization was founded on January 24, 1938 by the late Marion Stubbs Thomas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At that time, twenty mothers came together to discuss creating an organization to provide social, cultural, and educational opportunities for youth between the ages of 2 and 19. In 1946, 10 chapters were involved in the national restructuring process. The constitution and bylaws were drawn up, and the organization was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware.  It is an organization that will require financial obligation, engagement and commitment, so only serious candidates should inquire.
