Helping Link Annual Fundraiser Gala

Guests will experience the richness of Vietnamese culture through cuisine, art, dance and music.

Accomplished author and writer, Andrea Nguyen, will be in attendance signing copies of her newest cookbook, “Asian Tofu.”  Ten percent of proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit Helping Link.

A silent auction will add fun and funds that make it possible for Helping Link to serve over 800 Vietnamese-American families.
