Food, Clothes & Blood Drives
As part of the Community Assistance Program (CAP) here at ICOI, our goal is to provide an environment for our youth to learn a life of serving others by motivating our children at a young age to help shape them into selfless, loving, and empathetic leaders of tomorrow.
Community events, such as food and clothing drives, will be held quarterly and will continue with smaller projects in between. Events will be designed to involve all ages from kindergartners to young adults with roles that will be age appropriate and engaging.

“On the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who said, ” Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter. Whoever alleviates [the situation of] one in dire straits who cannot repay his debt, Allah will alleviate his lot in both this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslim, Allah will conceal [his faults] in this life and the Hereafter. Allah is helping the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother…” (Recorded in Muslim)
