Oregon Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association

The Oregon Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (OCCBA) is a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon, that serves the Chinese community and promotes cultural heritage. Established in the early 20th century, the OCCBA has played a vital role in advocating for the rights and welfare of Chinese immigrants and their descendants in Oregon. The organization provides various services, including cultural events, educational programs, and community support, aiming to foster a sense of belonging and cultural pride among its members.

Throughout its history, the OCCBA has been instrumental in addressing issues faced by the Chinese community, such as discrimination and social integration. The association has also worked to preserve Chinese traditions and promote understanding between different cultural groups. By organizing events like the annual Chinese New Year celebration, the OCCBA continues to engage the broader community and highlight the contributions of Chinese Americans to Oregon's cultural landscape.
