Now more than ever, it’s crucial that we come together to support organizations in our community deeply affected by harmful policies. 💛
Today, we’re highlighting the Korean American Family Service Center (KAFSC)—an incredible non-profit which is committed to preventing and ending domestic and gender-based violence, providing counseling, education, advocacy, and support for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse in the Korean American and broader Asian American communities in the Tri-State area. Their culturally competent services are life-changing and life-saving.
Jeehae Fischer serves as the Executive Director of Korean American Family Service Center in Queens, New York (@kafsc_ny)
Beginning her career as a self-sufficiency coordinator, Jeehae describes that the work KAFSC does is multifaceted: coordinating transitional housing, emergency housing, case management, a 24/7 hotline, and job training programs, among countless other services.
She urges us that during these particularly trying times, we must rely on friends and allies, who can lend their support through volunteering and sponsorships, to ensure the safety of our community’s most vulnerable constituents. “We’re Korean American,” she says, “we never give up, we are persistent.”

Hosted a special dinner I donated to the @kafsc gala, and guess who won it? My amazing BFF! She brought along the three gorgeous gala hosts to celebrate their hard work and dedication to such an important cause. It was a night filled with love, laughter, and celebration! Cheers to these incredible women and all they do! #KAFSCGala #tanachungcooking #CelebratingHardWork #Grateful
Thrilled to have been a part of the Korean American Family Service Center’s 35th Anniversary Benefit Gala on April 14th - my first time attending such an inspiring event! 🌟 It was an evening filled with celebration and empowerment, marking KAFSC’s incredible journey. We were honored to donate our popular treatment for the auction, raising funds for a noble cause. Plus, meeting so many beautiful souls, both inside and out, was the cherry on top. Together, we helped raise $1.2 million to support survivors and their families. 🙏
A huge shoutout to my dear friend @jane_everwell for the introduction, and @julienne_221, you’re amazing!

KACE @kacempowerment and KAFSC @kafsc_ny met with social workers from South Korea's Women Migrants Center Saleo-On of Incheon, Incheon Namdong-Gu Family Center, and Yeongdeungpo-Gu Family Center.
We had a very productive meeting and deep conversations and discussions, including raising up the next generation, crucial services and support systems of domestic violence survivors, income inequality, mental health, identity as Koreans living in South Korea and those of us living abroad in the diaspora, and finding ways to work together to help bring about a better tomorrow.
We all learned so much from one another. Thank you for visiting and speaking with us!
