Since July 1996
Korean American Senior Association (KASA) was founded in Georgia in July 1996 to support the well-being of elderly Koreans in Atlanta. They focus on meeting the unique needs of the Korean American senior community by providing assistance and resources. KASA collaborates with the Atlanta Community Food Bank since June 2012 to distribute food, ensuring nutritious meals for individuals and families facing food insecurity, especially in Asian American communities within Gwinnett County.
Food distribution for senior community
KASA empowers immigrant seniors through civic education programs, ESL classes, and cultural orientation. Their Health and Wellness Education Program offers information on healthcare and healthy lifestyles. KASA also provides Legal Rights and Immigration Education, advocating for immigrant seniors through Asian American media. Through accessible and culturally appropriate programs, KASA supports the integration and well-being of immigrant seniors.
Breaking Language Barriers
We believe that language should never be a barrier to receiving the support and resources you need.
That’s why we are committed to breaking language barriers and providing services to our diverse community, regardless of language.
We have a team of bilingual staff and volunteers who can assist with translation and interpretation, ensuring that everyone has equal access to our programs and services. Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all, where everyone is valued and respected.
Vision
The Korean American Senior Association in Atlanta creates an inclusive community for Asian American seniors, supporting their overall well-being. They serve as a resource hub, offering assistance in healthcare, legal, and financial matters. KASA advocates for the needs of Korean American seniors and collaborates with other organizations. They strive for transparency and continuous improvement to meet evolving needs. KASA aims to acquire a senior center to enhance quality of life, providing services such as transportation, counseling, workshops, and activities. They also partner with the Atlanta Food Bank and local Asian supermarkets to distribute food to those in need.
