MEALS FOR UNITY INC

Meals for Unity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to uplift those in need through community and food.The organization was founded in March 2021, in the wake of an increase in violence against the AAPI community. What started as a one-time meal distribution in Manhattan’s Chinatown quickly turned into a vision to tackle food insecurity and spread awareness of social inequalities faced by vulnerable communities in NYC.

Our volunteer efforts and events have spanned 4 boroughs, and we partner with local businesses, restaurants, and other nonprofits to lift up and nourish our communities together. We are incredibly grateful for the support of our volunteers and donors over the past three years, and we take pride in being a fully volunteer-run nonprofit organization. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and directors, we have delivered over 18,500 meals to our community since our inception.

Looking ahead, Meals for Unity is at an exciting inflection point. With a solid meal distribution model in place, we aim to broaden our impact across more boroughs and strengthen intergenerational connections within the AAPI community.
