Dear Friends,

Karen Organization of San Diego (KOSD) was officially established as a nonprofit organization in 2009 and opened its office in City Heights, San Diego, on November 1, 2011. Last Thanksgiving, thanks to our many donors and supporters, we were able to collect and distribute 791 bags of rice to support families in need. There is even greater need now because of recent federal policies cutting SNAP benefits support that have disproportionately affected the populations that we serve. We are determined to collect at least 1,000 bags of 25 pounds jasmine or basmati rice and we need your help. 100% of funds raised go directly towards purchasing rice, and we will distribute rice bags before Thanksgiving Day. Please consider donating to this year's Rice Drive by either dropping off rice at the Global Marketplace (5591 University Avenue, San Diego, CA 92105) or donating online using this form. Join our work today and help us deliver 1,000 bags of rice to the families that need this support for this year’s Thanksgiving season.

With sincere gratitude,

Nao Kabashima, Executive Director
