UPDATE 03.08.2017: Because we are so encouraged by the early and strong support for this cause, we will be raising our goal to $6500. The increased funds will allow us to address the unique, albeit more costly, needs of the children displaced by domestic violence.

Infant totes: formula, diapers, wipes, onesies

Toddler totes: pajamas, socks, wipes, Pull-Ups

Young children totes: school supplies, coloring books, undergarments, socks

We are grateful for your time and generosity.

UPDATE 03.07.2017: We are so excited to have reached our goal in less than half a day! We are still accepting funds. Additional funds will go towards adding more items to these totes and making MORE care packages for the YWCA domestic abuse shelter. Please email us if you would like to donate any items on our Needs List. Thank you for your overwhelming generosity and support.

Bigotry Answered by Love:

On March 2, 2017, through an event organized by CAIR Oklahoma, Muslim leaders from across the state gathered at the state Capitol to promote conversation between Muslims and our legislative leaders. State Representative John Bennett asked these Muslim participants to fill out a questionnaire before meeting with him. One of the questions asked, "Do you beat your wife?"

While we are appalled by this question, our response is to give back to our community, especially the unfortunate women and children victimized by domestic violence.

Oklahoma ranks 3rd in the nation for women killed by men in single victim-single offender homicides. In 2012, nearly 25% of homicides in Oklahoma were classified as domestic abuse murders. Oklahoma County is the most populous county in the state of Oklahoma and the YWCA is the only shelter for battered women and children in the county.  The YWCA provides emergency shelter and supplemental services for over 350 women and children every year. 

Our Story

The American Muslim Association (AMA) of Oklahoma City oversees the Grand Mosque. We condemn domestic violence and we support empowering women who have been victimized by domestic abuse. Campaign proceeds will go directly to buying supplies like hygiene products, blankets, and socks to be packaged into at least 500 "Totes of Love" for the YWCA domestic violence shelter. 

We will gather at the AMA Event Center [3201 NW 48th Street] on April 1st between 10 AM - 12 PM to package these totes. We welcome and encourage our non-Muslim family to join us so that we can send a message of unity to the Oklahoma community.
