Testimonial:
“I was new to the area and recently had a baby. I found myself feeling very alone and overwhelmed. If it had not been for the Hanover Mothers' Center I think I would have gone totally crazy! The friendships I have formed with these women has made my transition to a new area and my new role in life as a mother so much easier.”
