Recreation & Leisure

VACCEB’s programs provide a web of wraparound services for our senior community. Among them are our recreational and leisure activities aimed at enhancing the quality of life and minimizing loneliness for aging Vietnamese Americans. In the past year, our seniors have enjoyed field trips to the Monterey Aquarium and the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, classes such as computer literacy and photography, fitness classes such as yoga, monthly birthday celebrations and holiday events, knitting classes for women, and other socializing activities such as chess, karaoke, dance lessons and film.

Many of our seniors are also proud volunteers for our organization, helping in the kitchen to heat up the 11,000+ meals served annually, attending community meetings and events, planning birthday celebrations and senior field trips, coordinating weekend activities, participating in our Golden Gate Fields fundraising events, and providing administration assistance for our office. These activities help to foster and strengthen friendships among our seniors, but most importantly, help to keep our community active and empowered.
