Meng secures $850,000 for South Asian Council to expand immigrant services in Queens

South Asian Council for Social Services (SACSS), a non-profit advocating for underserved immigrant communities, has received $850,000 in funding from U.S. Rep. Grace Meng to purchase a new space and expand its services.

Meng presented the non-profit with a check at the SACSS Senior Center at 143-02 45th Ave. in Flushing on Thursday, Oct. 24, which will go toward SACSS’s efforts to purchase the building where it currently offers workforce development programs, including sewing, English language and computer classes.
