Full House MOMs & Dads is an organization that serves approximately 500 Portland-area families with multiples. We are a purely volunteer organization. Everything is done for and by Full House MOMs members. The nature of being parents of multiples is we are all busy, busy people. We understand that your free time is limited (many of us feel as though it is non-existent!). However, for FHM to serve its members and fulfill its purpose, we kindly ask that each family volunteer for a minimum of one committee.

There are a variety of tasks and positions in FHM, many of which involve a one-time commitment of an hour or two. There are also board positions that allow for more input in the direction of FHM.

New and Expectant Parents – This time in parenting multiples is particularly stressful and time consuming. Therefore, we recommend that you volunteer for one Resale shift, either during the Fall or Spring Resale. These shifts are generally two hours in length and can be done by either member or spouse/partner/support person. In exchange for volunteering at the Resale, you receive the benefit of shopping the resale early—a truly beneficial bonus to expectant and new families. Not interested in Resale? We welcome your time volunteering elsewhere. And, of course, you are always welcome to participate in additional committees and board positions, too!

“Experienced” Parents – Once you have survived the expectant-parent phase and the whirlwind first year, we ask that you become more involved in FHM. Consider a board position. Commit to a committee or two. Certainly, although you’ve made it through the first year, there’s no such thing as “settled down” when it comes to parenting multiples. We work very hard to ensure that our board and committee commitments support the busy nature of our membership.

** FHM wishes to support each and every one of our member families. We do not wish to add to the stresses and burdens in your life. Should your family experience a unique circumstance that makes volunteering particularly daunting, please let us know. **
