As one of only a few organizations of its kind in the Bay Area, the Arab Cultural and Community Center (ACCC) in San Francisco is a leading resource for a broad array of social services for Arab Americans, a complex and historically underserved community that is welcoming an increasing number of immigrants into the greater fabric of the region. Through a series of music and cultural events, ACCC celebrates the richness and diversity of Arab cultures. The events are highlighted by the annual Arab Cultural Festival, showcasing entertainment, cuisine, and cultural traditions from the Arab world. Support for the ACCC would allow the organization to build upon and strengthen its internal capacity, and delve more deeply into the multiple narratives and perspectives of the Bay Area Arab community.
