At The Local Moms Network, we’re moms committed to helping other moms. And right now in Texas, a lot of moms are dealing with unimaginably tough conditions due to the record-breaking snowfall—freezing temperatures, homes being destroyed and lack of food. Our hearts go out to everyone affected, especially the amazing moms behind our Texas sites—Cypress Moms Network, Frisco Area Moms, West University Moms, Katy Moms Network, Keller South Lake Moms, Kingwood Moms, Lakeway Moms, Memorial Villages Moms, North Austin Moms, South Austin Moms, San Antonio Moms Network and South Houston Moms. We want to help and know many of you do, too. Here are a few ways to do so. Have others? Please email [email protected] and we’ll add!
