The new CAPI building in Brooklyn Center is OPEN!! If you need support, they are fantastic partners in helping community.

You’re Invited! Join Us for CAPI’s Two-Part Grand Reopening Celebration!

We’re opening our doors and celebrating a new chapter at CAPI’s expanded Immigrant Opportunity Center at 5930 Brooklyn Blvd, Brooklyn Center! Join us for two days of celebration, community, and fun as we welcome everyone into our newly expanded space.

PART ONE: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Friday, October 9

Join us as we officially welcome the community back into our newly expanded space! Enjoy food, inspiring speakers, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and live performances as we celebrate this exciting milestone for CAPI and the communities we serve.

Planning to attend? Please RSVP: shorturl.at/JbWBs

PART TWO: Community Celebration
Saturday, October 10 | 11 AM – 2 PM

Bring the whole family for a day of fun, connection, and community! We’re opening our doors for everyone to explore our new building, meet CAPI staff, and learn more about the programs and services that support our immigrant and refugee communities.

Enjoy henna, a bounce house, tours of our newly expanded space, and more!

Plus, pick up your special event scavenger hunt to explore CAPI programs and connect with other community organizations. Complete your hunt for a chance to win a brand-new 7-quart Crock-Pot! We’ll have TWO winners!

And don’t forget: The first 75 visitors will receive a FREE 5-pound bag of jasmine rice, while supplies last!

We can’t wait to welcome you back, celebrate this new chapter, and share our space with the community. Bring your family, invite your friends, and come celebrate with us!

We hope to see you there!
