The Fil-Am Spring Fest 2023 in Falls Church, Virginia, was more than a celebration of Filipino-American culture; it was a display of unity and a commitment to aiding the ultra-poor in the Philippines through International Care Ministries (ICM). This vibrant event, driven by a group of compassionate volunteers, featured a rich mosaic of cultural performances, food, and business fairs. But at its heart was the charitable goal of supporting underprivileged Filipino families.

The festival, with over 1,000 attendees and numerous vendors and entertainers, successfully doubled its impact through a matching contribution by the Innovations for Gospel Impact ministry. The funds raised were allocated to ICM’s Transform program, which focuses on long-term empowerment and self-reliance through values education, health, livelihood training, and more.

Looking ahead to Fil-Am Spring Fest 2024, the team is building on last year’s success. The upcoming event, set for May 25, aims to continue its impactful mission, featuring influential speakers and community leaders at the "One for Juan" forum. ICM’s long-standing commitment to holistic development will remain a focal point, encapsulating a spiritual, health, economic, and educational approach.

As preparations for Fil-Am Spring Fest 2024 are underway, the team invites everyone to join in through various forms of participation, embodying the spirit of Ephesians 2:10. This event is more than a cultural festivity; it’s a platform for serving and glorifying God by helping those in need.

The Fil-Am Spring Fest 2024 promises to be a beacon of hope and community, celebrating Filipino-American culture while making a significant difference in the lives of those in extreme hardship. Every participation, big or small, contributes to this noble cause, transforming lives and strengthening bonds within the community.

Join us on May 25, 2024, to be a part of this movement of compassion and unity, making Fil-Am Spring Fest 2024 a milestone in our collective journey of service and love.
