03/17 – 04/06/2020: COVID-19 Announcement

Dear VietAID community:

Thank you for your continued support of VietAID and our programs. The past week we have been working with staff, Board and organizational partners to plan for a response to covid-19. From March 17, 2020 until April 6, 2020 VietAID will be suspending all programming and activities in the Vietnamese American Community Center per guidance of government and health officials. We will be updating closer to April 6, 2020 should there be any changes.

Below is a list of resources to share with your family and friends:

Au Co students and family members – our teachers will be posting regularly to our ClassDojo site with notes, mini-tutorials and more fun things!

VietAID in partnership with YMCA Boston/Summer Eats will be a site for breakfast and lunch pick up for children during BPS closure. Pick up will be Monday to Friday 8am-12pm at 42 Charles Street Dorchester MA 02122. A full list of meal sites can be found here: https://www.boston.gov/de…/food-access/map-meal-sites-boston

For legal services through Asian Outreach Unit of Greater Boston Legal Services please call (617) 603-1809 and leave a message. Staff will return your call and setup an appointment.

The City of Boston has posted a list of resources found here (including Vietnamese language materials): https://www.boston.gov/…/coronavirus-disease-covid-19-boston

As resources become available, we will post on both Facebook and our website. You can also call the VietAID at 617.822.3717, leave a message and we will return your message as soon as possible.

Thank you all for doing your part. Please consider donating to VietAID as we work to support our community through this period. https://www.vietaid.org/get-involved-2/donate/
