For this holiday season, the Vietnamese Culture and Science Association of Houston will have a holiday drive that will be donated to families located in Oak Island area (near Beaumont) whose homes were destroyed due to Hurricane Ike. This group includes many Vietnamese families that came to America as refugees after the Vietnam War as they searched for freedom and a brighter future. However, most of them have lost everything from their homes, boats, and any source of shelter to the devastating Ike. After being forced away from their country thirty years ago, these families are now finding themselves back where they started then with no money and little hope. VCSA is holding this drive to assist these families especially during this holiday season.

These families are in need of everything from can goods to toys; therefore, we will accept anything that you are willing to give including money. Check can be made payable to VCSA memo: Ike Hurricane relief

The drive will be kicked off on Saturday December 13th at VCSA Center - 4615 Belle Park Dr. - Houston, Texas from 2:00pm - 5:00pm. Any help or support is greatly appreciated and all donations are tax deductible. Please keep these families in your thoughts during the holiday season and let's all join hands to help out these unfortunate families.
