Heart of Dinner

Founded in NYC at the onset of COVID-19, Heart of Dinner's mission works to directly address loneliness, isolation, and food insecurity among Asian American older adults—long-standing community issues that have been historically overlooked across the nation where, more often than not, low-income Elders live in socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistics isolation.

Heart of Dinner curates and sources culturally thoughtful and nutritious food, then assembles the essential ingredients inside hand-illustrated brown bags with handwritten love notes attached in the Elders' native languages to respect, honor, and dignify the cultural nuances across the Asian diaspora. The signature Heart of Dinner care packages are delivered directly to the homes of Elder beneficiaries to nourish the physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
