About Us
To uplift women to live a better life.
After the passing of her mother in 2017, Vanessa Myers Mason, Founder and President of MOMS, Inc. wanted to honor her memory in a special way. Her vision is that the group becomes an advocate for older women, assisting them with basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing and render support to younger women by helping them to attain training, financial assistance or other support that they may need. The Board members, who like Vanessa, cared for and/or served as an advocate for their mothers during the course of their lives.
Our Mission:
a) To assist women in need of services to help them fulfill their dreams and live a better life through education, financial assistance, or family support.
b) To assist young women and men who are dropping out of school (whether high school or college) due to lack of finances or family support.
c) To assist elderly women through advocacy, financial assistance, and to ensure them access to necessities such as shelter, food, and clothing.
d) To raise and distribute funds to assist women in improving their lives.
e) To provide philanthropic opportunities to individuals and organizations.
We continue to provide for others in need. Our contributions from inception include:
• Overby Sheppard Elementary School: Provision of hand sanitizers, tissues, and
other supplies to all teachers to alleviate their out-of-pocket costs to assist underserved students
