What we do

Family Food Assistance

We provide culturally familiar groceries, fresh produce, and essential pantry items to AAPI families experiencing food insecurity. Our food-support program is designed to meet immediate needs with dignity, ensuring households can maintain their traditions and nourish their loved ones. Whether through monthly distributions, emergency food boxes, or direct delivery for families in crisis, we make sure no one in our community goes hungry.

Senior Support & Wellness

Our seniors are the heart of the AAPI community—and many face isolation, mobility challenges, language barriers, and limited access to services. We offer wellness check-ins, meal deliveries, and hands-on assistance to help elders navigate healthcare, benefits, and community resources. By showing up where seniors need us most, we provide comfort, stability, and culturally aware care that honors their lifetime of contributions.

AAPI Women’s Support & Safety

AAPI women often carry the greatest weight in their families, yet many face unique cultural, emotional, and safety challenges with limited support. We connect women to trusted community partners who provide crisis assistance, domestic violence services, counseling referrals, benefits navigation, and family-stability resources. Our goal is to ensure that every woman has access to safety, guidance, and compassionate help—so she can protect herself, care for her loved ones, and move forward with strength and dignity.

Wraparound Referral Network

Life’s challenges often overlap, and families don’t always know where to turn for help. Through our trusted network of community partners, we connect households to essential wraparound services—from housing and benefits navigation to translation support, crisis intervention, domestic violence resources, and access to public agencies. Our role is to guide families toward the right support at the right time, reducing barriers and helping them move toward safety, stability, and long-term well-being.
