In times of uncertainty and conflict, community becomes more important than ever. Many in our community are carrying deep concern for family, friends, and the future of Iran. During moments like these, it is vital that we have places where we can come together, support one another, and feel less alone. Pars Place was created to be exactly a welcoming, non-partisan space where members of the Persian community can gather, connect, and find strength in one another. Our center is open to anyone looking for community, conversation, cultural connection, or simply a place to sit with others who understand what this moment may feel like. Over the coming weeks, we will be expanding programming at the center to create more opportunities for connection. This may include cultural gatherings, community conversations, wellness activities, and other ways for people to spend time together and support one another. We also know that the strongest communities are built together. If you have ideas for programming, gatherings, or other ways Pars Place can help support the community during this time, we warmly encourage you to reach out and share them. Above all, Pars Place exists as a place of refuge, connection, and solidarity for our community. Our doors are open, and we welcome you.
