South Asian Council for Social Services

It is our great pleasure to announce that SACSS now has a permanent community center! Thanks to the support of the Queensborough President, the New York City Council, and our very generous donors, SACSS has been able to purchase a new space in the heart of Flushing! This space will serve as our offices and community center, with an enlarged pantry, and a space for community members to gather. We have the keys and now begins the work of getting the space ready for our first visitors!
