Mothers of Young Children
-
Gift Gallery presented by MOYC
This is MOYC’s annual fundraiser and 100% of the proceeds are given to our chosen charities. This two-day holiday shopping event brings together local artisans and vendors selling unique and upscale boutique-type items. Over the past 18 years, we have been able to donate more than $370,000 to local children’s charities and scholarship funds, and this year our goal is to grow in this tradition of giving!
Curé of Ars' Mothers of Young Children (MOYC) is an active ministry group for moms with children kindergarten age or younger, and their families. Our goal is to provide fellowship through social functions for moms, children, couples, and families, faith enrichment activities, philanthropic work, and meetings with informative speakers.
We provide a network for mothers with young children by giving members opportunities to participate in social, volunteer, and spiritual activities. MOYC supports and serves children and families of several charities in the Kansas City area through its philanthropic work.
Philanthropic Work
MOYC supports many local children’s charities through funds raised at our annual Gift Gallery. We also adopt Christmas Angels through Catholic Charities, hold various baby and feminine needs drives, and help our parish community by providing meals to MOYC members with new babies and/or when a family is experiencing a situation where providing meals would be helpful.
The shopping weekend begins on Friday night with “Miracle on Mission” and is the perfect opportunity to shop, sip wine, snack, and socialize….all for a great cause! Tickets for Friday evening are $40. The shopping continues Saturday and tickets can be purchased for $5. See the Gift Gallery website for more details.
Become a Friend of Gift Gallery with a personal donation! A donation of any size greatly impacts the success of our event and this is an excellent opportunity to support a worthy cause voted on by our MOYC members. This donation is tax-deductible and your support will be recognized on our successful social media pages.
Informational Meetings
4 times throughout the MOYC season, which goes from September to May, we bring in speakers to present on a variety of fun topics. These meetings are a great opportunity for learning and socializing. Past event topics and speakers have included interior design, a floral design class, organizing tips and tricks, and more.
