Mission: The Vietnamese population in the Greater Houston area is around 67,000. The office is conveniently located in Hong Kong City Mall IV, the hub of the Vietnamese community in Houston.
The Gulf Coast’s Vietnamese Americans need your help! Ike and Gustav hit the Gulf Coast even harder than Katrina, and BPSOS is working to connect evacuees to urgently-needed services. Those affected by disaster, including Katrina survivors, are relying on us for culturally and linguistically appropriate aid in this difficult time. People who need help are streaming into our office and inundating our phone lines – we expect more people to ask for our assistance daily.

Urgent! BPSOS Seeks Houston-Area Volunteers to Help Hurricane Survivors
September 19, 2008:
The Gulf Coast's Vietnamese Americans need your help! Ike and Gustav hit the Gulf Coast even harder than Katrina, and we are working to connect evacuees to urgently-need services. On Thursday and Friday alone, BPSOS-Houston staff and our fantastic volunteers helped 177 people deal with the disaster!
You can make a difference, especially if you are bilingual. Join us at the office to record people's needs and contact information, and refer them to the right services! Houston is the focus now, but we are collecting information about areas that are safe to deploy volunteers.
To volunteer in Houston, or at locations to be determined, call (281) 530-6888, or email info@bpsos.org.
