Please help us expand services to meet the growing needs of our communities!

SACSS is heading into its biggest year ever. We need your help!

Since SACSS opened in 2000, we have become a trusted, stalwart source for South Asian and other immigrant communities in Queens and New York City. In 2022, we have already served more than 160,000 people – our highest number to date. The pandemic hit our community particularly hard, and the aftermath is not over.

Everyday, we meet community members striving to feed their families, pay their bills, stay healthy, and prosper in a daunting economic climate with severe and ongoing job losses.

The need is high. And we need you.

In 2023, with your help, we are seeking to expand our services to meet the growing and changing needs of our community. Please donate today to help us meet our ambitious programming plans for 2023, including:

  • Launching a new Women’s Economic Independence Program that will help at least 60 women gain independence while working from home, each year. Projected cost $250,000/year.
  • Expanding SACSS Mental Health Counseling Program to include counseling with mental health professionals in three languages, to offer three times as many clients the compassionate support they need. Projected cost $300,000 in 2023.
  • Increasing and diversifying Senior Center Program. Projected cost for increase: $100,000 in 2023.
  • Growing our culturally palatable food pantry and grocery delivery services. Projected cost $1 Million.

Help us make 2023 the biggest year ever for SACSS and our community. No amount is too large or small! Thank you for your generous support.
