Philippine-American Friendship Community Inc.
About Philippine-American Friendship Community Inc.
PAFCOM is the biggest not-for-profit organization in the state, led by inspired community leaders with bold, implementable ideas and powered by legions of engaged members coming from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It is a village...a community that has made it its responsibility to give Filipino Americans the encouragement to speak up, be heard, and take action.
Central to PAFCOM's vision is the assimilation of Filipino Americans into the mainstream America, together with its various ethnic communities. This vision is to be kept alive by its diverse benevolent missions mostly aimed to benefit the deserving residents of Jersey City, NJ and those residing in adjacent communities.
MISSION
1. To nourish closer relationship among Filipino Americans as well as with other American communities and multi- ethnic groups to achieve a more neighborly community life.
2. To develop a well-focused, supportive socio-economic and educational plan that will extend to the elderly, handicapped, youth and families in need in order to help improve their quality of life.
3. To support PAFCOM in its effort to preserve our Filipino cultural heritage to strengthen our identity, to enrich the way of life of the present and future generation of Filipino Americans; and to promote understanding of tolerance to each other in these widely-culturally diverse communities. Its ultimate goal is to have a faithful, sustained, fulfillment of the above missions and its safe delivery to the intended beneficiaries under a well thought- out plan and mechanism.
