Mission Statement
CPACS mission is to promote self-sufficiency and equity for immigrants, refugees, and the underprivileged through comprehensive health and social services, capacity building, and advocacy.
About This Cause
CPACS was founded in 1980 in Atlanta, Georgia on the belief that people need people. Our mission is to promote self-sufficiency and equity for immigrants, refugees, and the underprivileged through comprehensive health and social services, capacity building. We are the first, largest, and longest standing organization in the Southeast focused on issues concerning Asian Americans. We recognize that health, education, employment, citizenship, and community are interrelated, interdependent, and integral to individual success as well as the ability to contribute to the society in which we live. Although we have a unique capacity to serve Asian Americans and continues to provide essential services that benefit that group it has evolved to provide services that benefit the entire community, especially members with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), regardless of racial or ethnic makeup such as Latino American, African American, and African Refugee. The majority our clients are LEP, low income immigrant and refugees of all ancestries including Afghani, Bhutanese, Burmese, Bolivian, Cambodian, Chinese, Ecuadorian, Ethiopian, Guyanese, Karen, Korean, Hmong, Indian, Iraqi, Laotian, Mexican, Nepali, Pakistani, Paraguayan, Rohingya, Rwandan, Somali, Sudanese, Vietnamese, and more. Each year, we served close to 70,000 children, seniors, and family members in Georgia, increasing our capacity to address language barriers, health access, and transportation barriers. We are committed to the families and the community that we serve. We are one of the few agencies that remained open during the pandemic to serve our community. As a community-based organization, we have at our very core a commitment to working in concert with other agencies, organizations, and individuals. The proposed services will utilize stakeholders/partners to continue to identify food insecurity problems in our communities. We will continue to communicate with stakeholders regularly throughout the duration of the program to ensure clients’ needs are met. Since April of 2020, CPACS has been operating a large food distribution service to support our food insecure families that live in the communities we serve. Over 10,000 food insecure families per month have been helped since we began feeding the community.
