Celebrating Our Resilient Community
 
We hope that you enjoyed a safe Seol holiday season. 

This year's Seollal was unlike any other, and undoubtedly looked (and felt) different for many of us. Despite the complexities of the times, we hope that you had an opportunity to nourish your body and your mind as we usher in the Year of the Ox.

The Ox is believed to symbolize hard work and discipline, and we can't help but draw a connection to the determination and endurance of our elders who paved the way for us. As we bring in the new year, we would like to pause and celebrate the hard work, discipline, and triumphs of our elders and ancestors that helped shape our resilient community. 

Our 2020 Impact Report is Here!
 

2020 showed us what we can achieve when we build bridges and work alongside our community members.

Because of all of you, we were able to provide over 2,000 homebound seniors with critical support during the pandemic, including 50,000 hot meals, 750 care kits, and wellness check-in calls.

See what else we accomplished together!
