FCDC or Filipino-American Community Development Center of Ocean County Inc, Inc. branched out from NARRA: The Filipino-American Association of Ocean County or FIL-AMA. With its founders, leaders and the unifying mission to build a Community Center, FCDC was incorporated to synergize its efforts with a common vision. |

The FCDC logo is represented by the Narra tree. It is the National Tree of the Philippines. We take and embrace this joyful image to envision what it takes and most importantly, what it means to be a Filipino-American. As we plant our National Narra Tree into the common ground of American soil, it is a clear reminder that our heritage has become a strong enrichment for American diversity.
Our Mission:SOW - Preservation of the culture through education. Our pride and joy: F.A.C.E.S. Kids and Youth Program - [Filipino American Cultural Enrichment School]
ROOT - Engendering a Kababayan spirit of unity through community activities (Annual Picnic, Founder's Day, Fundraisers), the cultivation of art, and spirituality [Inter-F.A.I.T.H. coalition - Filipino Americans In Total Harmony (The goal of F.A.I.T.H. is to promote cultural unity through spiritual means spanning all faiths and religions. FCDC acknowledges that the strongest leaders in the Filipino-American community, unquestionably, are its spiritual leaders. Undoubtedly, FCDC believes that secular efforts on many fronts are required to unify the Filipino-American community. However, FCDC also recognizes that without the combined leadership, prayers, and charisma of the Filipino-American clergy, we will not go very far at all).]
GROW - The establishment of a community center and the institutionalization of Filipino within our local communities.
BRANCH - Charity means for both back home in the Philippines, within our community and at the local level.
