After celebrating our 15th anniversary last year with over 450 people, we continue to embody the spirit of sama-sama(togetherness). Sama-sama in navigating the issues faced by immigrants and working class communities. Sama-samawith families whose loved ones are in detention. Sama-sama in fighting for what is right and just. Through our programs, advocacy, and community organizing, we remain dedicated in supporting migrants facing deportation, providing fresh produce to people facing food insecurity, and fighting for wages and improved workplace conditions. Now more than ever, the sama-sama spirit is elevating our Filipino community to new heights.
To celebrate 16 years of sama-samang paglaban (fighting together), we invite you to join us for our Adobo Cook-Off fundraiser on Saturday, October 17, 2026 from 12-4PM at New Life Community Church in Artesia, CA!
All funds raised will go towards FMC’s services and programs and the Tanggol Migrante (Defend Migrants) Movement’s Legal Defense Fund as we continue to support those who are fighting deportation.
Looking back at some of our past anniversary celebrations…
Let’s take a walk down memory lane and see some of our past celebrations!
From 2011-2019 we held galas to bring people together, but in 2020 we celebrated our 10th anniversary with a virtual gala due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the years following, our format changed to outdoor community events such as block parties & resource fairs, as well as an adobo cook-off fundraiser.
Regardless of the format, the feedback we always hear is that it feels like one big Filipino family party! So join in on the fun while supporting a good cause on Saturday, October 17th!
