Fulton County Community Foundation Grant Helps Grace MomCo Grow Support for Mothers and Families

The Fulton County Community Foundation (FCCF) has awarded a $2,500 grant to
Grace MomCo, a local program dedicated to supporting and connecting mothers of
young children.

MomCo, short for The Mom Community, provides a welcoming, faith-based environment
where mothers can build friendships, gain parenting support, and grow both personally
and as caregivers. Through regular gatherings, the program offers educational
resources, guest speakers, creative activities, and opportunities for service and
leadership. Its mission centers on reducing isolation, strengthening families, and
promoting emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.

This grant will allow Grace MomCo to expand and enhance its programming in
meaningful ways. According to coordinator Amanda Hazlett, the funding will help
sustain and grow childcare offerings during meetings while also introducing the KidsCo
curriculum, creating a more enriching experience for children.

“We will be able to continue childcare during meetings, and it is more than just childcare
now,” Hazlett shared. “We have been incorporating KidsCo curriculum and hope to
expand that next year, so our children also gain meaningful relationships during these
meetings.”

In addition to supporting children, the grant will help MomCo leaders plan more
opportunities for mothers and families, including events, speakers, creative activities,
and family outings. These efforts aim to keep participation accessible by maintaining
free or low-cost options for members.

MomCo plays an important role in the community by offering mothers a place to feel
seen, supported, and encouraged. Many mothers of young children experience
loneliness and stress. By creating space for connection and shared experience, MomCo
helps build stronger families and healthier communities. When caregivers are supported
and equipped with resources, children benefit from more stable and nurturing home
environments.

Community members interested in joining Grace MomCo can connect through

This grant was made possible through the generosity of donors who give to community
funds at the Fulton County Community Foundation. Community funds allow flexible
support for local needs, helping programs like Grace MomCo continue to serve and
