Together, we helped Thomas after his heart attack
Thomas and his wife Kelly retired to Excelsior about 10 years ago. Shortly after, Kelly was diagnosed with cancer, and after a lengthy battle with the illness, passed away.
This holiday season, we are so grateful for all of the support for ICA—from individual gifts to company drives.
To show our appreciation, we wanted to highlight a few recent food drives that blew us away with their contributions and care for our neigbors in need.
Here at ICA, in the coming months, we’re expecting our already historic service numbers to rise even higher.
It's a new year and ICA is coming out of the gates with a new look! As we strive to provide the very best services to our neighbors, we feel it's time to update our image to better reflect our overall resources and community outreach efforts.
After laying the groundwork of school-based market and resource centers last fall, ICA is continuing to expand into more area schools and offer a wide range of services to local families.
Melissa is a mother of two and lives in our community. Last winter, her son was hospitalized due to severe breathing issues. Melissa missed work so that she could be with him at the hospital. Her job does not offer paid time off, so missing work meant a missed paycheck.
This spring, we posted on Next Door that we were in need of a new desks for our offices. (Our previous desks predated computers!) To our great delight, Minnetonka resident Joel Peterson contacted us. Joel is the CEO of Minneapolis-based iSpace Environments, a company that creates beautiful workspaces. iSpace has since refurbished four of our offices with new furniture and we are so grateful!
