For over 20+ years, The Vietnamese American Community Center of The East Bay (VACCEB) have provided our clients and their families the support they need to become acclimated in American society and, more important, to become self-sufficient as soon as possible. Generations of refugees and immigrants have come to America with their families looking for safety and a haven from persecution and war and an opportunity for a better life.

VACCEB provides the necessary safety net so they can get an economic foothold to pursue the American dream for themselves and their children. 

Thousands of people have made this journey to this country and are now major contributors to the health and well-being of this country. They have gone on to build the infrastructure for this country, become doctors and nurses to save lives, taught a new generation of children so they too can pursue their dreams and contributed to waves and waves of innovation to push us towards better efficiencies and discoveries that will serve humankind.

Join us in welcoming the newcomers. Help us help them to thrive and reach economic viability and make this country more culturally vibrant.

Thank you all,

Shirley Gee, CEO
