A Year in Review:

This holiday season, the Armenian Relief Society (ARS) of Eastern USA extends its gratitude to all our supporters and generous donors who are enabling us to fulfill our noble mission and make a powerful impact. This year again the ARS of Eastern USA was able to mobilize our communities to rally around honorable causes and stay true to the organization’s motto of “With the People, For the People.” As we continue to serve our community, nation, and this world selflessly and humbly, we hope that you will renew your commitment and join us in making this world a better place.

“This year has been filled with unprecedented challenges, however it was a powerful reminder of the essential work the ARS of Eastern USA carries out each and every day,” reminisced Caroline Chamavonian, chairperson of the ARS of Eastern USA. “In a year where our global community experienced extreme hardship, our homeland faced overwhelming challenges, and several diasporan communities confronted adversity, the ARS of Eastern USA joined the international ARS family to extend its healing hands to those who needed us the most to provide hope for people in our communities, homeland, and the world,” she continued. 

For 111 years, the ARS of Eastern USA and the entire ARS family have remained confident in the potential of achieving lasting impact. We are uplifted by the determination and ingenuity of our volunteer members, ARS chapters, supporters and individuals we serve. Volunteering for the ARS gives us a glimpse of the complexities and challenges of the world, but more importantly, it gives us insight into the best of humanity. 

We are proud to announce that a total of $365,500 was allocated to all the humanitarian and community-centered programs mentioned above. On behalf of the ARS of Eastern USA and those we serve, thank you again for your steadfast support.

As we ring in the New Year, we hope that each home will be filled with love, compassion, health, and success. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
