Annual Spring Fundraising Event
|
|
Saturday evening was a celebration of the people, programs, and projects which come together to make ICGC a model Muslim American community. Thank you to the generosity for the community who helped ICGC come very close to its goal.
|
|
Just one highlight of ICGC Social Services in 2019 was that it provided 15,000 lbs of food to 571 families (2347 people of which 45% were children). And that is just one of the many remarkable ways this program is Uplifting Lives.
|
Sheikh Hossam’s words of inspiration reminded us of the importance of supporting the Masjid, and how such giving only increases the blessings in our lives..
.
|
|
Please review the 2019 Annual Report. Find a quiet corner with a cup of tea or coffee, and read through the details of all that is happening at ICGC.
As you read through it, ask yourself, these questions:
1) What does ICGC mean to you?
2) How does it compare to your own childhood masjid experience, or to other communities you’ve visited?
3) What does it mean to have this opportunity for your children?
In doing so, we hope you’ll realize how blessed we are to belong to a community where we as Muslim Americans can practice Islam through Worship, Education, Leadership, Service, and Outreach.
As always your generosity and support is truly appreciated!
