Our 2024 Impact

ICA has had over 30 years of global and community impact with our programs and services. While some of the programs have changed over the years, we are blessed to be in the community offering foster care, adoption services, counseling, tutoring, life skills, and various other programs and services. We have aided different non-profit organizations (churches, NPO’s) internationally and domestically with humanitarian aid and supplies, fiscal donations, and sometimes helping be hands and feet in the situations at hand.
