The Mount Hope Chinese Association

The Mount Hope Chinese Association

The Mount Hope Chinese Association, based in Mount Hope, NY, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing traditional Chinese culture and values to promote a return to traditional ways of life globally. Founded on June 30, 2022, the association focuses on fostering cultural and civic participation for Chinese communities in the United States. It collaborates with groups like the Asian American Advisory Committee to host community events, such as the October 23, 2023, gathering at the Mount Hope Senior Center, which brought together local residents and officials to address Asian American community concerns, including civil rights and issues related to the Chinese Communist Party. Led by Chairperson Mela Wu, the organization prioritizes community engagement, cultural preservation, and enhancing communication between residents and town representatives.
