What our community is saying
ICC brings people together…. Coming to the Family Success Center, to our Garden Club, and Knitting Club is like meeting with family. We talk, we share, we laugh, and we help each other. I especially like gardening with my family and friends because it reminds me of my home country, Ecuador… I wasn’t even surprised when ICC staff showed up on a Saturday morning when an apartment in my building was on fire… I invite you to join us; the center is for all of us!
