Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month with the Oregon Family Support Network

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the rich histories, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. At the Oregon Family Support Network (OFSN), we are proud to honor this month by highlighting the vibrant heritage and achievements of the AAPI community, particularly in Oregon. Here are some fascinating facts and stories that showcase the incredible impact of AAPI individuals and communities.

Celebrating AAPI Contributions Today

Today, AAPI individuals continue to contribute to every facet of life in Oregon. From pioneering entrepreneurs and innovative scientists to dedicated public servants and passionate artists, the AAPI community plays a vital role in shaping the state’s future. Organizations like the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) work tirelessly to advocate for the rights and well-being of AAPI individuals, ensuring their voices are heard and their contributions recognized.

OFSN’s Commitment to AAPI Families

At the Oregon Family Support Network, we are committed to supporting AAPI families by providing culturally responsive services and resources. We recognize the unique challenges that AAPI families may face, including language barriers, cultural differences, and systemic inequalities. Our programs aim to empower these families, ensuring they have access to the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
