Changing the narrative through service to our neighbors
AMAN is a volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) following the example of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) — feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, and standing with our neighbors, without regard to race or religion.
Give help
Food, essentials and direct assistance to neighbors who need them, delivered without paperwork or preconditions.
Serve together
Interfaith projects where Muslim and non-Muslim neighbors work side by side on the same task.
Build opportunity
Career bootcamps, resume and interview coaching, and job-search training, offered free.
Stronger neighbors
Cultural competency training and civic education so our towns understand and include everyone in them.
Service as an act of faith
To follow in the footsteps of Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), and implement the Islamic ideology of service to the community we live in, without regard to race or religion.
As Muslims we must improve the communities we live in by visiting the sick, feeding the hungry, teaching people to read, and helping people who have no one to turn to.
A righteous society, living in peace
Create a righteous society where we can all live in peace and harmony in spite of our differences.
It is by translating our love of God into good actions that we strengthen our faith and make this world a better place for all.
Service, delivered in our own neighborhoods
Every project starts the same way — a neighbor needs something, and we show up.
Health & vaccination clinics
Free COVID-19 vaccination and testing clinics hosted with local partners, bringing care to residents who needed it most.
First responder appreciation
Thank-you dinners and gift baskets delivered to Plainfield and Naperville firefighters and police.
Feeding our neighbors
Volunteering with Feed My Starving Children and local food drives to put meals on tables across the community.
Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.
Dozens of ways to be a good neighbor
You do not need a title or a budget to start. Pick something from this list and do it this month.
Community enhancement
Paint benches, clean vacant lots, plant flowers in bare public spaces, and help repair neighborhood playgrounds.
Helping senior citizens
Deliver groceries, drive neighbors to appointments, shovel snow, or simply sit and listen to their stories.
Animals & the environment
Care for shelter animals, clean up a local park or river, plant trees, and start community gardens.
Safety & crime prevention
Join a neighborhood watch, become CPR certified, volunteer as a crossing guard, or run a self-defense workshop.
Training public officials to serve every neighbor
AMAN partners with GainPeace to deliver cultural competency training for public officials, police, and first responders — so the people who serve our towns understand the communities they serve.
Helping neighbors register and vote
We run voter registration drives and publish plain-language guidance on eligibility, mail-in ballots, early voting, and finding your precinct in Will County. Non-partisan always — information only, never endorsement.
