The Arcadia Chinese Association (commonly known as “ACA”) is a service organization established 32 years ago in 1982 (became a non-profit organization in 1994 and received official 501(c)(3) status in 2007) and comprised entirely of community volunteers. The ACA provides volunteering and community services and has donated about $23,000 each year to many local organizations in keeping with its mission to:
- Promote the learning of Chinese culture, history, language, literature, and arts;
- Support educational and charitable activities in Arcadia;
- Bridge cultural gaps; and
- Assist new immigrants to understand American traditions, citizenship, and community values.
