Filipino American Community Centers

In various parts of the country, the Filipino American community has gotten together the resources to build various Filipino American community centers. These cities include Waipahu, Hawaii; San Francisco, California; and Anchorage, Alaska.

In Sacramento, California, there exists a Jose Rizal Community Center, which is ran by the Southgate Recreation and Parks District. This facility allegedly was owned and ran by the local Filipino American community at one point in its history. The Filipino Community of Sacramento and Vicinity (FCSV) continues to raise funds to build a Filipino Community Center of their own, less than two blocks away from the Jose Rizal Community Center.
