Meeting the needs of the residents
and neighborhood ofI ronbound
since 1969
WELCOME TO ICC:
ICC is dedicated to serving the residents of the Ironbound neighborhood
in Newark and to improving the quality of life in our community. Our
mission is to help make the lives of Ironbound families healthier and
better, now and for the future.
ICC was started more than 35 years ago by individuals like you, who
live in Ironbound. We began as a group of people who came together to
create a preschool for the neighborhood. Today, ICC is still a neighbor-
hood group that works with neighborhood people to meet the needs of our
families. We have programs for all ages, from babies to grandparents.
ICC also works with Ironbound residents to address issues that affect
life in our neighborhood and, when necessary, to speak up to our
government about these issues. We are proud of our success in organizing
to help create a safer and cleaner Ironbound neighborhood. And we
welcome your participation in our campaigns to strengthen and
improve our community.
ICC programs and services are open to every Ironbound resident,
and most are free. So get to know us—and then let us know
how we can serve you.
