Support Viet Place Collective!

Hi, Viet Place Collective aims to uplift and uphold the legacy of Vietnamese culture, community, and identity in the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) area for the next generation. We're a small group of concerned Vietnamese & Asian Americans who have our roots in the DMV and are passionate about the future of the Eden Center, a cultural hub and home to over 100 Vietnamese and Asian Pacific Islander small businesses. The City of Falls Church, Virginia is planning for development that will result in rent increases and displacement for business owners, drastic changes in the cultural identity, and gentrification of Eden Center.

We started organizing at the beginning of 2022. This will be a long-term effort to ensure that community voices and demands are accounted for in the City's vision and plan to honor the Vietnamese roots of Eden Center and prevent displacement and gentrification. We need your help and are collecting donations to cover some of our costs to operate and organize. This includes, but is not limited to:

We are entirely volunteer-based and dedicate long hours to this priceless cause outside of our day jobs. A group fund would be one less thing to worry about as we continue to serve our community. Please show your support for our anti-displacement and anti-gentrification efforts by funding the Viet Place Collective. You are contributing to our vision of a more equitable future for the Vietnamese community at the Eden Center. We will share periodic updates on our impact and progress with all of our supporters.
