More about this organization
Mission
Heart of Dinner addresses food insecurity, social isolation, and loneliness among Asian American older adults living in significantly under-resourced and underinvested communities. The organization delivers culturally thoughtful care packages—comprising food, personal artwork, and handwritten love notes—to nourish the body, heart, and soul of Elders. Since 2020, Heart of Dinner has provided over 250,000 meals across New York City and expanded emergency relief to Los Angeles in 2025. Their mission emphasizes ongoing support and fostering community connection to combat loneliness and barriers to resources for elderly immigrants.
About
Founded in NYC at the onset of COVID-19, Heart of Dinner's mission works to directly address food insecurity and isolation experienced by Asian American seniors—two long-standing community issues. The under-resourced Asian American older adult population have historically been overlooked across the nation, where oftentimes low-income and homebound seniors live in socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistics isolation.
Heart of Dinner curates and sources culturally thoughtful and nutritious food, then assembles the essential ingredients inside uniquely illustrated brown bags with handwritten love notes attached in the Elders' native languages to respect, honor, and dignify the cultural nuances across the Asian diaspora. The signature Heart of Dinner care packages are hand-delivered to Elder beneficiaries in need of the nourishment of their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
