Celebrating Mothers Brunch 2026 Theme: Resilience

At MCC, Resilience is woven into the fabric of our mission, vision, and everyday work. In the face of systemic inequities, MCC's capacity to endure, thrive, and provide ongoing, robust networks and high-quality services has not and will never waver.  


This year's theme affirms our deeply held commitment to our communities, while honoring the profound resilience that families display every day and our belief in empowering parents as catalysts for change.
