10 Years of PACC: A Decade of Community, Culture, and Commitment

As we reflect on 10 incredible years of the Palestinian American Community Center (PACC), we are filled with gratitude for the unwavering support that has fueled our growth and impact. From humble beginnings to the strong community network we are today, we owe everything to you—the individuals, families, and allies who have believed in our mission and built PACC with us.

PACC stands as a vital beacon not only for the diverse community of Paterson, often referred to as "Little Palestine," but for many neighboring cities in New Jersey. As a non-partisan and non-religious 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, PACC’s mission is to strengthen and sustain ties to Palestinian heritage while empowering the well-being and success of the entire community. All of PACC’s operations are grounded in our theory of change: empowering individuals will empower the community and lead us to a world of equity, freedom, and liberation for all.

10 Years of PACC. 10 Years of Community.

PACC thrives because of you - the community - your collective strength, passion, and generosity have been at the foundation of everything we do.
