Meeting Options

In-Person Moms’ Groups

Held quarterly from 6–8 PM CST in a private room at each location. Current cities include Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Cedar Valley, Des Moines, Ames, Davenport, Sioux City, Dubuque, and Omaha, NE. All moms are welcome—no matter your background, race, ethnicity, or loss story. Pre-registration is requested so we can plan for space, materials, and refreshments.

Virtual Moms’ Groups

Meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7 PM CST and the 4th Tuesday of select months at 1 PM CST. Connect from anywhere for story sharing, support, and remembrance. All moms are welcome! Pre-registration is requested so we can share Zoom links and welcome you personally.

Loss Specific Moms’ Groups

In addition to our general gatherings, we host virtual Moms’ Groups tailored for specific types of loss (such as miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, or infertility). These spaces are designed to help you connect with others who have experienced a loss similar to yours. Pre-registration is requested so we can share Zoom links and welcome you personally.

Meet Your Ambassadors

Meet Your Ambassadors: No Foot Too Small Moms’ Groups are peer-led by a trained NFTS Angel Ambassador, often a mom who has also experienced loss. Visit our Meet the Team page to read their bio and learn more about their story.

“I was just two months into my grief journey when I first discovered No Foot Too Small. I was terrified to open up to complete strangers about my grief and my experience because it was still so real and raw at that point. But with Ellie’s guidance, I found the courage to attend a NFTS Mom’s Group and share our story. Immediately, I felt a connection to the other moms in a way that can’t be explained in words. These women have become some of my best friends and an incredible support system. Although we’ve all had to sacrifice so much to be brought together in this way, I’m beyond thankful that we have each other. There is so much comforting in knowing there is always someone who gets me, especially on my hardest days. Thank you for everything you do. I wouldn’t be where I am today without NFTS.”

- Holly Sitzmann, Loss Mom

“I’ve had a lot of loss in my life. Prior to the NFTS Men’s Social Club, I thought grieving was something I could best do alone. After sharing our stories and talking about our losses, I realized that there are many ways to grieve and I don’t have to do it alone.”

- Zach Evanovich, Loss Dad
