The genesis of the Peninsula Islamic Community Center, also known as PICC, can be traced to the early 2000s when a small group of Virginia Peninsula residents met to develop plans to establish a center from which to promote a nurturing educational environment, a family-friendly social environment, interfaith events with the community at large, charity and humanitarian relief for all people, social activism and volunteerism, and to conduct Islamic religious services. After considering several sites and structures, the proposed location at 325 Village Ave, Yorktown, VA 23693 was unanimously designated by a small group of founders for the development of the Center. Following that decision the process of acquiring the land and formally establishing the Center got underway in August 2015. Board of trustees and executive body was appointed in September 2015 and charged with drafting a founding Constitution based on Islamic principles with an emphasis on transparency, democracy, inclusion and community outreach. PICC is a religious, charitable, not-for-profit organization incorporated at Yorktown on the Virginia Peninsula, all donations are tax excempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501 (c) (3). We will be affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America. Added on January 22, 2021 and last updated 4 years ago
