Our team recently returned to Carson in partnership with Malamalama Ole Lalolagi (MOL) Church for another impactful distribution. 💚 This event featured fresh produce and coconut milk made possible through SCAN Health Plan funding, along with taro leaves purchased from Alma Backyard Farm thanks to support from the LA Food Equity Fund. 🥬🥥 ✨ A special highlight of the day was the taro leaf taste test (known as palusami in Samoan and lu in Tongan), deliciously baked in coconut milk by Joel and Isa Fonua. Community members had the chance to enjoy a cherished staple of the Pacific Islander diet. 🌺 We also distributed mochi pancake mix, generously donated by Every Day Action, adding an extra treat for families to enjoy this season. 🎁 Throughout the event, attendees shared their gratitude and appreciation for both the variety and quality of items offered. Despite recent changes to funding and a shift to less frequent distributions, the warmth and welcoming energy from the MOL community remains strong. Their generosity continues to inspire us, and we look forward to continuing to serve and support them. ✨
🌺 Celebrating Community and Culture in Carson 🌺
🌱🚛 On November 25th, APIFM's Food Roots Harvest (FRH) team and the Chinatown Library's Teen Council collaborated to serve elderly and underserved community members in Chinatown. Amidst the ongoing uncertainty of SNAP benefits, people are having to choose between paying for rent or paying for food. The FRH team sources culturally relevant produce along with eggs from our network of local farmers to help provide a source of nutritious food. Chinatown Librarian, Lynn Nguyen, organizes the Teen Council to pack the bags and then deliver them to multiple single resident occupancy (SRO) buildings throughout the community. Each bag is hand delivered to residents who are homebound, face transportation challenges, or are busy working and unable to pick up the bags at the library. Special thanks to the youth, community volunteers, community based organizations such as SEACA and CCED, and funders who make this possible. 🙌
