Filipino-American Service Group Inc

We implement a combination of medical and holistic approaches, which include the following:

1. Healthy Perspectives Program – an array of educational classes that deal with health, wellbeing, and other relevant issues to equip clients with the knowledge needed to deal with everyday life.

2. Young At Heart – various activities catered towards active seniors who are unable to socialize and are facing loneliness, isolation, depression, and fear, especially due to the COVID pandemic.

3. Referral services – for those in need of counseling

4. Education and awareness – dissemination of information to the community

5. Cultural Programs - to educate Filipino Americans on Filipino culture (including dispelling myths and providing corrected historical information) for self-awareness and to develop cultural pride. According to experts, having a sense of one's culture improves one's ability for success.

FASGI's Arts Incubator Program was created in 2016 to promote and uplift Filipino and Filipino American arts and culture. The program’s mission is to:

1. Help Filipino American artists to be properly recognized and given economic opportunities for advancement;

2. Enable Filipino Americans to get in touch with their culture; and

3. To educate mainstream America on Philippine/American art.

Our program currently includes a permanent gallery, an annual exhibit (Pangitain at Pananaw – Visions and Viewpoints), special exhibits, and an artist-in-residence program. FASGI currently has 15 Filipino American artists participating in the program.

In addition to several health and wellness activities conducted, FASGI holds the annual Kapayapaan Festival, which is designed to promote wellness and peace of mind, body and spirit. The Kapayapaan Festival is a free day-long symposium of speakers, health classes, screenings and wellness checks, holistic healing, and free healthy food.
