May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month! As part of the celebrations I want to highlight the tremendous work being done in the 46th ward and citywide to support our Asian-American communities. Our local non-profits always need volunteers and support for their programming. Our community agencies form a unique piece of Uptown’s cultural heritage.
