our story

In 2009, founder Elizabeth Mattson was looking for organized, meaningful ways to volunteer with her son, Jacob.  She began organizing volunteer events with friends and Second Saturday Mothers & Sons was established.

 

Since then, many dedicated volunteers have carried on her mission and our organization has continued to grow and thrive.

 

We are grateful to Elizabeth for her vision and drive to create SSMS, to our leadership team who manage and sustain it and to all the moms & sons who serve our community faithfully.
