MOMI (Muslimahs Out to Make an Impact) is a grassroots, Muslim women-led community organization founded on belief that service is a form of worship.
We are mothers, daughters, educators, professionals, and community members united by one goal: to please Allah through service to others.
Ikhlas (Sincerity): Everything we do is for the sake of Allah
Amanah (Trust): Transparency, accountability, and integrity
Rahmah (Mercy): Serving with compassion and gentleness
Satr & Dignity: Protecting privacy and honor at all times
Community First: Collective responsibility over individual gain.
To build a strong, connected, and empowered Muslim community where families are supported, children are nurtured, and sisters lead with faith, compassion, and purpose.
