SPIFFS is the only independent multi-ethnic organization of its kind in the United States and has been named as a local legacy by the Library of Congress.

Services offered by SPIFFS members:

• The Speakers Bureau - Folk Artists and ethnic resource volunteers visit schools and other community venues to discuss the heritage of their ethnic group,share their music, dance, arts and crafts, and sometimes demonstrate ethnic food specialties.
• The Language Bank - More than 100 individuals handling more than 30 different languages and dialects serve as translators and interpreters for the community in courts, hospitals and schools and assist local city and county officials with translations for visiting dignitaries.
• Traveling Ethnic Suitcases - contain books, videos, music tapes, artifacts, toys and information on the geography, history, arts and culture for students and teachers to explore.
• Folk Dance Groups - Many of the member groups have dance groups which are available to perform throughout the community
