One of EMOMs' primary objectives is to provide support to members, both proactively and as needed. The club has several somewhat structured "subgroups" that meet regularly, sometimes with a planned meeting program and sometimes in a more social setting. EMOMs also has programs in place to offer more direct support to members, particularly families with new babies and families in need.

Support Groups and Services
These subgroups within EMOMs provide opportunities for members with similar needs / interests to connect and share experiences.

• Expecting/First-Year EMOMs meets monthly to address topics of specific interest to expectant and new parents of multiples. Monthly meetings include informal discussion as well as a planned program, which may be a guest speaker or a specific discussion topic. New members repeatedly describe this group as one of the most valuable resources during their first year with multiples.
• Toddler/Preschool Group meets monthly to address topics of specific interest to parents of children 1 to 4 years old. Monthly meetings include informal discussion as well as a planned program, which may be a guest speaker or a specific discussion topic.
• School-Age Group meets monthly to allow members an opportunity to engage in informal, facilitated discussion with other members who have multiples in the same age range. The group may choose to keep discussion to a suggested topic or steer the conversation around to whatever is most urgent in their lives at that moment!
• Adoptive EMOMs provides support and camaraderie for families who have adopted multiples. 
• Single EMOMs provides support and connections for single-parent families with multiples.

• Meals and Support is a section on our member website that notifies members of others in their area who need specific help such as meals, errands, et al.
• Benevolent offers direct support to area families with multiples who may need help in providing for their family's needs. Help is offered in the form of baby gear and essentials, children's items, and limited financial support.

• Sunshine Cards and Gifts provides encouragement to member families going through rough times.
