Dear Friends and Community Members,

Happy Fall! We are thrilled to present VietAID’s 2024-25 Impact Report, highlighting the incredible work we’ve accomplished in the past two years, made possible by supporters like you 🤝💙

Over these years, our community has achieved meaningful milestones together. Since 1994, VietAID has worked to uplift and anchor the Vietnamese community through social connections and cultural unity. To celebrate this process, we are proud to launch our latest Impact Report.

This year’s report highlights two years of growth across our programs, affordable housing development, and intergenerational support, along with the many ways our staff, volunteers, partners, and donors have helped move this work forward.

We invite you to explore the full report and take a look at the impact you’ve helped make possible. None of this work happens alone, and we’re immensely grateful to everyone who continues to show up for VietAID and our community.

Thank you for being a vital part of VietAID’s journey as we build a stronger Vietnamese American community and a more vibrant Fields Corner.

Sincerely,
George Huynh
Executive Director

On August 24th and 25th, students from the Harvard First-Year Urban Program (FUP) spent two days volunteering with VietAID, helping us care for our spaces and support the work happening behind the scenes!

They helped clean up and revitalize our community garden, tackling some much-needed outdoor maintenance, while also assisting with internal logistical work to help keep our programs and initiatives running smoothly. We’re incredibly grateful for their enthusiasm and willingness to support VietAID! Thank you again Harvard FUP students 💙
