Lao Family Community of Minnesota, a leader organization in facilitating and promoting the success of Hmong Americans, other immigrant and refugees, is pleased to announce the appointment of Amee Xiong as its new Interim Executive Director.
Lao Family Community of Minnesota (LFC) is a community-based, non-profit organization established in 1977 as the Hmong Association of Minnesota by Hmong refugees who had fought alongside the U.S. “Secret War” in Laos during the Vietnam War. The agency was incorporated in 1983 under its current name. Its mission is "to facilitate and promote the success of Hmong Americans in Minnesota, while also recognizing and supporting other immigrant and refugee populations".
In 1994, the agency realized a long held dream by purchasing and renovating a large building on University Avenue in St. Paul. This serves as a community center and source for human services for refugee/immigrant families in the Twin Cities, with a strong emphasis on St. Paul. A second building leased on the East Side of St. Paul is readily accessible to the many refugee/immigrant groups utilizing English Education and Youth and Family Services programs.
