Every week, Heart of Dinner hand-delivers care packages to Asian American Elders living at or below the poverty line across under-resourced neighborhoods in New York City, with ongoing periodic deliveries throughout Los Angeles. Each delivery brings nourishing food and human connection to Elders facing food insecurity and isolation.

Each package carries:

At least three days of culturally thoughtful food from local small businesses
A handwritten note of love in the Elder's native language
A hand-illustrated bag many Elders save and revisit on the days they feel most alone

Your gift goes directly to nourishing the Elders we serve and to keeping weekly deliveries steady through whatever the year brings.

$30 nourishes one Elder for a week
$120 nourishes one Elder for a month
$720 nourishes an Elder for six months
$1,200 nourishes ten Elders for a month

Since 2020, supporters like you have helped deliver more than 250,000 meals and directed over $2.1 million back to neighborhood small businesses.

Whether you give once or monthly, your support is what makes this work possible.
