The center is located at 104 S. Chestnut St.

The Zakat Foundation is an Islamic charitable foundation based in Chicago. The Foundation first made its presence known in Lumberton four years ago in the wake of the destruction caused by Hurricane Matthew. Since then, the Islamic Center of Lumberton has continued to work with the city to support recovery efforts.
