2007 Grantee: IndoChina Sino-American
Community Center
$25,000 was awarded on September
25, 2007 for the Sino-American Community Center
in support of Project CARE, Chinese Americans Restoring
Elders, a new initiative to reduce and prevent elder
abuse in New York City's Chinese American community.
Located in Chinatown, New York City, the Sino-American
Community Center was established in 1990. It was
originally founded by a small group of refugees
from Indochina who wanted to create a self-help
organization that would help form a linkage with
their past while helping refugees who came after
them. Initially, the Center served mainly seniors
offering ESL classes, naturalization services, and
senior employment training. However, over time the
Center has expanded to include services to the entire
community.
The 2nd Annual Award Reception, where the award
was made to the Center, was generously supported
by Safran.
