30 Years of Inspiring Change

Join us at our annual Fall Gala

– From the Executive Director

Executive Director, Minh Đức Phạm Nguyễn

I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you. Helping Link | Một Dấu Nối is reaching a significant milestone as it turns 30 years old. I want to cordially invite you to join us in celebrating this momentous occasion at our annual fall Gala. The event, our largest fundraiser of the year, is Saturday, September 23, 6-8 p.m. at the Mercer Island Community Center, featuring great food, live entertainment, an auction and more. Please mark your calendars and save the date! Learn more about the event, including tickets, here.  

Helping Link is currently immersed in the planning process for the event and we sincerely hope that each and every one of you will grace us with your presence to commemorate this special milestone. Throughout the years, we have cherished our relationship with all of you and feel privileged to share some recent news. We are embarking on a new journey—a move! However, we have yet to secure a new facility. After an extensive search in the greater Seattle area, we have identified Renton, with its vibrant Asian community, as an ideal hub for Helping Link’s operations. If you happen to be aware of available rental spaces in Renton, please reach out, as Helping Link is still in the process of finalizing our future home. Furthermore, I am excited to announce an employment opportunity at Helping Link for a Digital Literacy and Technology Program Coordinator. This is a part-time, paid position and I would greatly appreciate your assistance in spreading the word. Please feel free to share this opening extensively within your networks and learn more about this role here.   

Despite challenges, Helping Link’s work persists through the dedication of our remarkable volunteers. Thank you for your unwavering support and I eagerly anticipate celebrating with you on September 23.
