Dear Brothers/Sisters,

Winona is a small city in the state of Minnesota with population over 30,000. Located in picturesque bluff country on the Mississippi River. This city often referred as a college town since it has three college with over 15,000 students and about 400 international students. Many Muslim students from different parts of the world come to study here. The Islamic Center of Winona was established in 1992 to provide a place of worship for the college students and the Winona community.

Unfortunately, our original building caught on fire on September 13, 2013. It was destroyed and demolished. Another building was purchased in 2015, located at 71 W 3rd St. Winona, MN. The roof of the building has proved itself to be a problem...constant leaking. The building is in a historic district and any repairs must comply with historic preservation standards and the roof has outlived its useful life and must be replaced.

Total estimated cost is about $65,000 and after doing some fund raising events we locally raised about $24,000. We still in need of remaining $41,000. Please help us with your generous contribution. May Allah [SWT] build a palace for you in Jannah for your assistance and contribution.
