  2. The MomCo@Hope Registration Now Open

    Hala TompkinsJune 15th, 2026Community Updates

    Dear Mamas,

    This year the MomCo is bringing back ’90s friendship and community. You may not even remember a time when you couldn’t make a phone call when you weren’t at home or when a friend showed up at your house without texting first. Back in the ’90s, that was normal life.

    This year at the MomCo, we’re going to practice showing up, making real connections with real people, being a good friend, and loving others even when it isn’t convenient to do so.

    If you are looking for real community, join us! We’re Good Company and we’re saving a seat for you.

    with love,

    The MomCo@Hope

    The Fall Registration link is now open.
