Why This Matters:
In NYC, 1 in 4 Asian seniors faces food insecurity and isolation. Many live alone, far from loved ones or support.
Heart of Dinner provides care packages that include nutritious, culturally thoughtful food for 2–4 days and is delivered in hand-decorated bags with personalized notes. These meals remind our elders that they are seen, valued, and cared for.
