In celebration of Lunar New Year, join AALAM for a networking event – and a good cause!

AALAM is supporting Ricesticks & Tea on Saturday, February 12 to help package and distribute much needed food to low-income members of our Asian American community.  We are looking for 8 volunteers to join us – spots will be first come, first served!  The event will begin at 6:00am at the Arlington Street Church and will conclude at around 9:30am.

Please note that volunteers must wear masks and be vaccinated to participate. 

Founded in 1998, Ricesticks and Tea (RST) is a food pantry program serving over 120 pre-screened low-income Asian immigrant and refugee families each month. Those 120 households represent over 300 children, adults and seniors. It is the only food pantry program in the region whose mission is to serve the Asian community and provide food that is consistent with their cultural cooking traditions and preferences.
