M.O.L.C. Celebrates Ribbon Cutting, Receives $5,000 Gift for Families in Crisis
Mothers of Loss Children (M.O.L.C.), a Jackson County organization devoted to supporting mothers who have lost a child, recently marked an important milestone with a ribbon cutting at the location they now call home for their regular meetings. Christian Center Church located at 3277 Old U.S. Road in Marianna has opened their doors to M.O.L.C.
The occasion celebrated more than just a physical space. It represented stability, growth, and a place where grieving mothers can gather for comfort, understanding, and support. During the event, Emerald Coast Hospice presented M.O.L.C. with a $5,000 donation to be used as needed when tragedies occur and families find themselves facing sudden loss.
M.O.L.C. was founded to support mothers who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a child, regardless of age or cause. The organization’s mission is rooted in empathy and connection, offering a safe space where no one has to grieve alone.
The group is led by three individuals who share a deep commitment to walking alongside grieving families: Princella White, Lisa Snell Marsh, and Chaplain Gino Mayo. Together, they have helped build M.O.L.C. into a steady source of encouragement and outreach within the community.
M.O.L.C. meets monthly, on the second Tuesday of the month, providing ongoing support and opportunities for mothers to connect, share, and heal. The new meeting location gives the organization a consistent place to continue that work and expand its reach to others who may be newly navigating loss.

With a permanent meeting space and new resources made possible through community support, M.O.L.C. continues its mission of turning shared grief into strength, compassion, and hope for mothers across Jackson County.
