About Us
Our History
The Filipino-American Association of Coastal Georgia (FAACG) was founded in 1989 by a group of Filipino-American residents who recognized the need for a community organization to support and connect Filipino-Americans in the Coastal Georgia region.
Over the past three decades, FAACG has grown from a small group of dedicated individuals to a thriving community organization with over 1,000 members. We have established numerous programs and events that celebrate Filipino culture, provide educational opportunities, and support our local community.
