Who are we? Why Missing Moms?
Missing Moms held its first event in 2018, but the seed for this ministry was planted many years before that. As far back as 1982, when a stillborn son was born to Founder Laura McGrew, this was the first recognition of how difficult Mother's Day can be for women. Over the years, some of us would lose our Moms, lose a granddaughter, lose adult kids, struggle with infertility, and more. We care deeply about providing a nurturing, encouraging space for women to take a breath and know that they do not have to face another Mother's Day alone.

We exist to ignite hope and encourage women who struggle with Mother's Day. These women either Missed out on becoming a mom, Miss their moms, Miss their kids who are gone, or are Missing a family support system.
We accomplish this mission through an annual luncheon in May and by hosting a series of inspiring events to connect women to each other, to Jesus, and to local churches.
