Our experiences\, along with those passed on to us from generations prior\, have shaped our perspectives and gave us the knowledge and tools to be able to empathize\, support\, and uplift this neglected sector of the community. \nBy leveraging their resources\, networks\, and professional experiences\, they source culturally relevant meals from locally owned AAPI restaurants\, catering to the specific dietary needs and preferences of the elderly AAPI community while stimulating the Chinatown economy. Their goal is to provide not just sustenance\, but also a sense of comfort and nostalgia; paying homage to the heritage of those they serve. \nBy the end of 2024\, we have served over 22\,600 free meals\, have executed 66 meal distribution events\, have been aided by over 900 volunteers\, and have partnered with over 65 corporate sponsors\, non-profits\, and local restaurants. \nABOUT MOONLITE \nMoonlite exists to uncover\, illuminate\, and elevate the diverse perspectives and expressions that currently exist in our creative community of Asian Americans. We create wholly unique experiences to build our collective sustainability. In plain speak\, we love showcasing the diverse talents of the Asian-American creative community by creating spaces for them to share their art and\, importantly\, to help them get paid for it so that they can keep making more. \nWhile our goal is to build up our creative community and foster sustainable careers\, we believe wholeheartedly that this is best achieved when everyone is having A GOOD TIME. \nHere are some snaps from last year’s Mid-Autumn Fest.

SUMMARY:Book Event: The Big We by Hali Lee
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book party with a Q&A\, food and drinks for THE BIG WE by Hali Lee. \nDrawing from the experiences of real-life giving circles\, philanthropy leader Hali Lee challenges our traditional understanding of giving\, showing how everyday people can take back philanthropy from the billionaires and make the world a better place. \nWhen you think of philanthropy\, what do you envision? Uber wealthy donors? Extravagant galas? In recent decades\, philanthropy has come to be seen as something exclusive to those with an abundance of resources. But giving doesn’t have to mean donating millions of dollars. It can be as simple as a group of people who come together to do something good in their community. In The Big We\, Hali Lee argues that the future of philanthropy belongs to community action\, specifically giving circles–groups of people who come together to pool their resources to make positive change. Born of traditions of generosity rooted in many of our ancestral cultures\, giving circles provide a way for us to overcome our sense of overwhelm at the many problems we face by learning\, acting\, and giving together. \nThrough stories of real giving circles around the country\, including her own experience starting the Asian Women Giving Circle\, Lee shows us a more expansive vision for the future of philanthropy. One led by people who are refocusing on community\, who care about rebuilding the civic space\, and who are yearning for connection\, purpose\, and shared vision. Through these giving circles do we see not only the immense impact we can have in our own backyards\, but also the tremendous scope of change we can achieve through the power of collective action.
