Recently, Asian Pacific Development Center (APDC) has been featured in the news for its outreach to the Asian and refugee communities in and around the areas it serves. From recognizing the strong leadership of its Executive Director, Harry Budishidarta, to working to prevent violence among Asian communities due to unfounded rumors regarding the origins of COVID-19, to combatting falsehoods about the COVID-19 vaccine within these communities, APDC is on the front lines when it comes to service.
