May is a Month of Charitable Initiatives!
by Megan Marks

FresnoMommies is all about families. We understand that families come from all types of backgrounds and are made up of all types of people. We also understand that families need some help from time to time and, for that reason, every event planned during the month of May combined with April's flocking efforts will benefit the Fresno Rescue Mission's Emergency Family Shelter, Fresno Rescue Mission's Craycroft Center, or the Marjorie Mason Center. Supporting families for a short time as they get back on their feet is an important task - especially when those families have little or no possessions due to a disaster, abuse, or unexpected circumstances. Caring for each other during those trying times can provide just enough of a glimmer of hope to carry us through.
