It is with great excitement we invite you to participate in a very special fundraising event. We are hosting our 43rd Anniversary Benefit Dinner at the Yale Club of New York City on Thursday, October 24, 2024 to fund JASSI’s operation to provide social services to individuals and families in need. 

Please find the invitation here. 

JASSI was established as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization in 1981 with the mission of improving quality of life for people who face problems resulting from language barriers, cultural differences, and difference in services systems, we help more than 1,000 individuals per year by providing an array of social services without any charge while protecting the confidentiality of clients. More than 88% of clients who answered the question had low-to-moderate income in last fiscal year; thus, it is critical that our services are provided free of charge. 

Here is how you can help:
