Anniversary Galas

39th Anniversary Gala

“Home” is not a physical location, but a state of mind and KFAM’s 2022 theme "Close to Home" conveys where our hearts and minds lie. Since 1983, KFAM’s mission to provide our community with a sense of safety, comfort, and healing – the same feelings only a home can give. KFAM, now more than ever, continues to be a safe haven for low-income, underserved Korean and AAPI immigrant families, providing over 10,000 clients with vital services in Mental Health therapy, Adult and Child Holistic Wellness, Gender-Based Violence and Foster Care services. KFAM remains to be the first and only AAPI focused Foster Family Agency (FFA) in the nation. View program book here
