Asian Counseling and Referral Service offers hope and opportunity in over 40 languages. We help transform the lives of families and individuals by helping people feed their loved ones, find jobs, access resources, gain English language and work skills, become American citizens, recover from addiction, and achieve mind and body wellness. We serve seniors and people with disabilities and connect youth with job training and leadership development opportunities while ensuring they and their families receive the support they need to thrive.

Help make a difference. Join us for ACRS' first-ever Virtual Gala to help raise vital funds for multilingual resources to support those in need. 

Donations and auction proceeds will benefit the work of ACRS.  The gala is free and open to all. 

We're thrilled and honored to welcome Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, author & activist Helen Zia, with a special performance by Marc DelaCruz and Katie Tupper!

Hosted by King5 Mornings anchor Mimi Jung, and auctioneer Ron Hippe
