BANA’s Holistic Approach
BANA helps people in need in our community.
BANA’s community members and volunteers are dedicated to advancing the organization’s mission and bylaws. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, BANA regularly hosted events such as the Summer Picnic and Fall Street Festival to bring the Nepali community together and explore different cultural elements, including food, music, and dance. However, during the pandemic, BANA became a major community support organization, working to help its community members with issues such as transitioning to remote work, unemployment benefits, and other financial issues. The organization has also raised funds to support Nepali people and other communities affected by the pandemic and other disasters around the world and ran a temporary food bank during the pandemic to assist those in need.
