In November, 2005, the Muslim Support Network (MSN) was established to improve the health and well-being of their elders. The organization was founded upon a realization within the Muslim community that elders’ needs were not being met by the community at large. 

This group realized that many Muslim elders were homebound, encountered language and cultural barriers, lacked transportation or finances and were suffering from both physical and mental health issues. 

Immediate action was taken by MSN in November, 2006 to partner with the City of Fremont’s Human Services Department (HSD). They created a program where the seniors could come out of their homes, and established a social and educational program to improve their lives.  MSN held its first community meeting late in November of 2006.

Moina Shaiq is the co-founder and has served as President of the MSN since its inception in November 2005. She and her husband Mohammad have been Fremont residents for the past 25 years and are the parents of four children. She has Bachelor's degrees in Economics and Psychology.
