Richmond ICNA resource center opens in Henrico
Table of Contents
The Richmond Chapter of the Islamic Center of North America recently opened its new resource center at 3009 Lafayette Avenue in Henrico.
ICNA is a non-profit organization that works within communities to provide family and health services, hunger prevention, disaster relief, and transitional housing.
The new center opened Dec. 1 – only a year and a half after the Richmond chapter began in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility will offer ESL classes, skill courses, counseling services, a food pantry, and more.
ICNA often partners with food banks and grocery stores to offer a healthy variety of foods to people in need, according to organization officials. That includes not only basic pantry items but also salads, fruits, breads, and meats like halal and kosher to serve people from all faiths and religions.
“We may be a faith-based organization, but we serve anyone and everyone who walks through our doors,” Richmond Outreach Coordinator Hamna Saleem said.
