Come celebrate M4U's anniversary at our community fair, filled with AAPI food, merchants & performances! Proceeds go towards our meal fund. Celebrate Meal for Unity's one-year anniversary at our volunteer-organized community fair, filled with AAPI food, merchants, fun activities, music, and performances! Every month, we run meal distribution events serving the community. This past year we have geared our focus towards the AAPI elderly in Manhattan, Chinatown. For our anniversary event, in addition to serving meals to the elderly, we are inviting the community to have fun with us at the fair while learning more about the issue of food insecurity. All ticket sales and proceeds go towards Meals for Unity's meal fund and our mission of reducing food insecurity among marginalized communities in the New York City area. We aim to unite communities by providing meals to those who need it most. Meals for Unity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
