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 April 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.
