Please Be Aware

March 18, 2024
Over the last many months there have been a number of unprovoked attacks on Asian Americans presumed to be some hate filled retaliation for the hardships associated with the social and economic times of the day. Please be mindful of this when you are away from home and especially if you are traveling alone. As we have been doing for more than a year now, we must continue to protect ourselves and those we love.

  • If you see something, report it to local law enforcement.
  • Protect the elderly and vulnerable.
  • Avoid being alone in public places.

We hope you are all safe and finding ways to prosper during this pandemic. As the country re-opens we will post any plans for resuming our community outreach.

April 7, 2020
Pad Thai Restaurant owners Ritsa Chanthabandith and Jay Inthasane, in collaboration with Lao community supporters and LCCC, launched the “LUNCH BOX” prepared meal donations to the front line healthcare workers at Palomar Hospital in San Marcos (100 lunch boxes) and Loma Linda in Murrieta (40 lunch boxes). It is the Lao community's way of saying “THANK YOU” for their hard work and for putting themselves in harms way to ensure their patients are taken care of and lives are saved from COVID19.
With kind giving, love and togetherness, we shall overcome this pandemic ❤️
Thanks to Ritsa, the Pad Thai Restaurant team, community volunteers, the LCCC team, and all who contributed to this effort. You are blessed for your kind hearts and selfless giving. 🙏🙏🙏
