History of Hingham Women's Club
Founded in 1940 as the Hingham Mothers' Club, the group was primarily social in nature. Over the years the club has evolved into an organization that promotes civic and community welfare and sociability. The club supports local families, students and seniors in the south shore community.
Building upon the traditions of the past, the Mothers' Club's purpose became more charitable and in 2013 the HMC became a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Although a large portion of our membership is comprised of mothers, we are open to all female Hingham residents who are 21 years of age and older who wish to help make a difference in the community. In 2017, we voted to change the name of the club to the Hingham Women's Club to reflect that we are inclusive of all women in Hingham regardless of their family status.

Butterfly Effect Award
What is the Butterfly Effect? A term coined by the chaos theory that suggests that wing movements of one butterfly may have significant repercussions on wind strength and movements throughout the weather systems of the word, and, theoretically, could cause tornadoes halfway around the world. The name of the award was inspired by the heartfelt words of Peter Milewski to describe his beloved daughter, the late Carolyn Ouellette, a Hingham mom active in community service.
"Carolyn and other Hingham moms make amazing things happen both in this town and also in communities around the world," says the HMC Co-President Liz Deininger. "This award is designed to recognize the amazing work that mothers do on a daily basis to make our local and larger community a better place."
Nominate a deserving Hingham mother who has improved our community through service. Nominee does not need to be a HWC member but does need to live in Hingham. Previous nominees are welcome. Currently not accepting nominees.
