Iu Mien Community Services does so much for the Iu Mien community in Sacramento and surrounding cities. They are a huge asset to the Iu Mien elderly and disabled seniors. Thank you for helping to bridge the gap for our communities to resources. They also run the Iu Mien student conference every year and help empower the youth to pursue higher education and provide mentorship.
