Our Pledge to our Donors

We will use your gift to empower local mothers and benefit families by providing information, education, support and
resources that they would not otherwise have access to.  

Please be assured that we will comply promptly with any written requests for confidentiality of your donation or
communications with us.  You may opt out of our mailing list at any time.

Volunteers with the Whole Mothering Center

It is through the efforts of our volunteers that the Whole Mothering Center community is able to exist. Fostering an environment where
mothers nurture mothers is central to our mission and without the help of our volunteers, the Whole Mothering Center could not function. We
sincerely appreciate the hours and efforts that the women who work with us donate. They give of themselves and their time to be available to
offer support and encouragement to mothers in our community and help us reach a population of families who would otherwise not have
access to the kinds of programs we offer.

Volunteers are required to complete our Volunteer Orientation to ensure that mothers receive an optimal level of care. We conduct an
interview with each volunteer applicant  to assess which areas the applicant has the most experience in so that we can match applicants with
volunteer positions that meet her needs and best serve our clients.

If you wish to volunteer your time helping to further the mission of the Whole Mothering Center, please call to schedule an interview.

Our newest on-going fund-raising effort is:

Whole Mothering Center Mall

Basically, visitourmall.com is a company who has partnerships with hundreds of well-known online merchants. They collect a
commission on EVERY purchase made through their website and pass a portion of it along to the owners of the online mall,
which in this case is your favorite Southeast Texas Resource Center for Moms - Whole Mothering Center!

The list of merchants is QUITE extensive (we have over 500 merchants in our mall!) and includes such trusted corporations as
Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Blockbuster, K-Mart, Sears, Gap, Nike, iTunes, Barnes and Noble, Disney Store, K-B Toys, Toys
R Us, Babies R Us, Staples, Circuit City, 1-800-Flowers.com, Zales, Hallmark, Things Remembered, The Body Shop, and even
service websites like H&R Block, eDiets, Match.com, and online mortgage and insurance agencies.

It's basically a win-win for all parties involved. By shopping in our mall, you get to take advantage of discounts and special
offers not available to the general public AND you get to help support the mission of the Whole Mothering Center! Some of
the companies offer up to a 20% reimbursement to WMC just for you shopping with them in our mall!

Thanks for checking it out and please share this opportunity with everyone you know who enjoys shopping online that would
like to support SETX area women and families!
