ABOUT US
Our nonprofit, Viet Nevada Culture NCC, launched in the spring of 2020 when founder Kim Dung Ho began witnessing first hand the challenges the Vietnamese community in Southern Nevada was facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the biggest issues was the lack of information and resources going to Vietnamese individuals and families struggling to make ends meet while also trying to stay healthy. Kim began connecting with people both online and on the phone to provide resources assistance in everything from free food donations, unemployment applications and small business grants. In an effort to form a "permanent information bridge" to the Vietnamese community, the idea for the Viet Nevada Culture nonprofit began.
Kim Dung Ho along with co-founder Van Ploegman are on a mission to provide updated resources from local governments and community partners to help those in need throughout Southern Nevada.. Viet Nevada Culture also aims to preserve the cultures and customs of Vietnam here in the United States. Some of these programs include the Tet Lunar New Year Festival at the Clark County Government Amphitheater which drew hundreds of people from throughout the Las Vegas area. The nonprofit also provides weekly Vietnamese lessons for kids & adults at CSN Community College and puts on picnics and other events to bring the Vietnamese people together in Southern Nevada.
Viet Nevada Culture is grateful for the support of many corporate and community partners including US Bank, Vegas Chamber, Nevada Grow, Asian Community Development Council etc.
