Wayne Ho Joins Nonprofit Report Podcast to Share CPC's Mission and Services
Wayne Ho, President and CEO of the Chinese-American Planning Council, joined the Nonprofit Report podcast, part of the Oppenheim Org's weekly webinar series featuring nonprofit leaders from across the country discussing urgent issues of our time. He spoke with host Mark Oppenheim about CPC's history, mission, and latest strategic plan.
Ho explained how CPC grew from a 1965 grassroots response to gang violence and immigration reform into the nation's largest Asian-American social services provider. He detailed the community's evolving language needs and the hiring of more staff who speak different dialects. Ho also described CPC's recent food pantry initiatives after SNAP cuts affected thousands of clients and shared advocacy efforts that secured increased city and state food funding for vulnerable families.
