Everyone is Welcome
VSS MN now serves immigrants and refugees from all over the world. Vietnamese Social Services is a direct service organization, serving low-income families, welcoming newly arrived immigrants and refugees, and supporting youth, adults, and seniors on their journey as new Americans. On average we reach 12,000+ program participants annually. Most are Vietnamese (50%), Karen (40%) refugees and immigrants. The remaining group (10%) is composed of Burmese, Somali, and Laotian, and from other African and Asian countries and Mexico. All are residents of the 7-county metro area (Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area). |
The mission of Vietnamese Social Services of Minnesota is to maintain the identity of Minnesota’s Vietnamese community while addressing the basic economic, education, and health needs of refugees and immigrants statewide and promoting healthy and thriving communities.

Minneapolis Parks Foundation Funds Elder Circle Program
“Vietnamese Social Services of Minnesota is grateful to receive a $2,500 People for Parks Fund grant from the Minneapolis Parks Foundation in support of our Elder Circle Program. This funding will help provide meaningful wellness, recreation, and community activities for Vietnamese elders through culturally welcoming experiences in parks and community spaces.
The Elder Circle Program brings seniors together to stay active, build friendships, celebrate culture, and reduce social isolation. We are thankful for the continued support of programs that promote healthy aging and strengthen our community connections.
Thank you to the Minneapolis Parks Foundation for investing in our elders and our community.”
Hue T. Pham, Executive Director
