Welcome to the Westfield Area Chinese American Association website!
We are an official Certifying Organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award
Our Mission
Our organization plans to strengthen the Westfield Area Chinese community through events, outreaches, and education. We host events that are open to everyone who wants to explore Chinese culture. These events feature traditional foods, clothing, and art. We also sponsor students in WACAA to further their education from as early as kindergarten to college. As an organization, we invite everyone to explore and learn about Chinese culture.
