About Filipino-American Association of Greater Atlanta
For nearly five decades, the Filipino-American Association of Greater Atlanta has served as the longest-surviving Filipino organization in Georgia, establishing itself as the home of the Filipino-American community in Lawrenceville, GA and throughout the greater Atlanta region. Founded in 1973 by a dedicated group of Filipino Americans, the organization has grown from a small gathering into a vibrant, diverse community institution that reflects the rich tapestry of Filipino-American experiences and contributions. The association's commitment runs deep—from its earliest days providing employment assistance to Filipino nurses navigating workplace challenges, to its current role as a comprehensive community resource. What sets the Filipino-American Association of Greater Atlanta apart is its genuine dedication to cultivating meaningful friendships and connections among community members while preserving and celebrating Filipino heritage for future generations. The organization's history reflects authentic community service, from pioneering cultural celebrations like the annual July 4th parade participation to hosting family-centered events and gatherings throughout the year. Members describe the association as a solid socio-cultural organization that continues to evolve and remain relevant as the Atlanta metropolitan area attracts Filipino-Americans from across the country. Based in Lawrenceville, GA, the association welcomes all who wish to connect with Filipino culture, support their community, and be part of an organization with a proven legacy of service, cultural pride, and genuine fellowship spanning multiple generations.
