Feed the Need Food Program
Every month ICC distributes food to families in need in our community. Non-perishable groceries can be dropped off at the masjid all year round, and donations to this important program can be made by clicking the button below.
Ladies Elevator Project
ICC is raising funds for a new elevator project. The ICC does not have a functional elevator that reaches all three floors, especially the ladies' mezzanine, and it is a growing need for our community. Please donate generously!
Friday Night Family Halaqah
Join us every Friday after Asr for our Friday Night Family Halaqah! The Family Halaqah starts right after Asr prayer in Hall B, followed by refreshments and basketball in the gym.
Evening Qur'an Class
ICC Evening Qur'an Classes are held each weekday evening (Monday to Friday) from 5 to 6pm and 6 to 7pm. Registration forms can be picked up from the office or downloaded here.
Islamic Studies Sunday School
Islamic Studies Sunday School registration is open all year round! Please call the ICC office to register.
Marriages and Funerals at ICC
The Islamic Centre of Cambridge facilitates both marriages and funerals for the community. Please visit the office, or call 519-740-6855 ext. 327 for details.
ICC Funeral Financial Support Services
ICC is now offering a full funeral financial support program. This program will help members of our community cover the high cost of funerals.
Today, funeral costs between $6000-$7000, which can be very difficult for families to pay. The FFSS program allows the community to come together and help each other cover this cost.
Please visit our website for forms, and full details on how the program works. Application packages are also available at the office.
Parking Lot Safety
For everyone's safety, please carefully review the following guidelines for the parking lot area:
1. Do not block the masjid stairs, or the parking lot exit, when dropping off or picking up others from the masjid. Cars are not permitted to stop or park in front of the stairs.
2. If you need to drop off or pick up a child for evening Qur'an classes, kindly park in a designated parking spot and walk the child to and from the building.
3. Always look both ways and be vigilant while walking across the parking lot, especially while crossing the lane where cars exit.
4. Use extra caution when crossing the parking lot in bad weather conditions.
5. The speed limit in the parking lot is 15km. Please do not exceed this limit at any time.
6. Kindly report all unusual activity in the parking lot to masjid administration. This may include abandoned vehicles, excess trash, burned out lights, and missing or damaged signs.
Parking Lot and Fire Routes
Please observe the Fire Route regulations at all times while parking in the ICC parking lot.
Also, kindly DO NOT park in spots designated for people with disabilities unless you are legally authorized to do so. The city may issue tickets for anyone not parked in a properly designated spot.
Prayer Mats with Back Support
There are special prayer mats with folding back support available at the ICC office for $35 each. The prayer mat folds in such a way that it can be used as a chair with back support. More detailed information is on display in the masjid lobby. Please visit the office during the weekdays to purchase a mat.
