Ricesticks & Tea Volunteer Opportunity

AALAM is supporting Ricesticks & Tea on Saturday, October 14 from 6:00 am to 9:30 am 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 6:00 am at the Arlington Street Church and will conclude at around 9:30 am. And we'll head to Chinatown afterwards for some well-deserved dim sum! 

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.
