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!

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.
