History
Established in 1964, we were originally founded as a mothers' organization (Upstate Mothers of Multiples), but we now welcome any parent or guardian in to our ranks. We are proud that our group is exclusively a volunteer organization comprised of a diverse collection of families from throughout the Upstate South Carolina area. We are a part of the Palmetto State Parents of Multiples (a state-level organization), as well as a part of Multiples of America (a national organization).
Mission
Our goal is to provide a community and a support network for any family raising multiples. We accomplish that aim through social events, like family parties, playdates, parents' nights out and more. We also aim to be a support network by utilizing a specialized app (Rallyhood) and holding support meetings throughout the year. These meetings take place in-person and via Zoom, to give everyone the best chance of being able to attend. Lastly, we aim to provide members with all that they need to help make the raising of multiples easier. This includes access to a premie closet, running a virtual "swap" page (buy/sell/trade with other members) and supporting parents in need financially with things like childcare reimbursement and meal trains.
