Our History
MACA Masjid was established in 2001 through the tireless efforts and sacrifices of our founders and their supporters. The journey was not without challenges, as some local residents initially opposed our establishment. However, through perseverance and a commitment to interfaith understanding, MACA Masjid has become a cherished cornerstone of the Voorhees community. We are particularly grateful for the dedication of the late Zia Rahman, whose leadership was instrumental in our founding.
The Muslim American Community Association has been approved by the IRS as a registered 501(3)(c) charitable organization.
