๐Ÿšš The UA3 truck can do it all... but when a nearby community partner needs fresh produce ASAP, our volunteers load up carts and haul fresh food across Chinatown ๐Ÿ›’๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒ

It's more than handing out groceries! It's about showing up and supporting our neighbors โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿค

"Patience is a virtue." ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ Our lines get long, but rest assured that every scheduled neighbor recieves their groceries!

Every person in line has their own story ๐Ÿ’ญ We're grateful to be a small part of it ๐Ÿ—ฝ

Sharing some heartwarming moments from Confucius Plaza earlier today! ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’™โค๏ธ

This event was a collaboration of neighbors and supporters, both big and small! We welcomed some of our close neighborhood organizations, including , , , the school, and .

Our elected officials of the district showed up as well, and support our work in the neighborhood and came to share words with residents.

A special thank you to for supporting this event and sending volunteers to help distribute food and resources throughout the day. As UA3 President Don Hong shared, meaningful things can happen when non-profits, government, and businesses come together with a shared purpose.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, resources, and energy today. Together, we're building a stronger, healthier, and more connected Chinatown.

UA3's Senior Smartphone Workshop has been keeping our interns busy these past two weeks! They've been providing personalized tech support to neighborhood seniors on the pantry line and at our official workshops at the Manny Cantor Center. ๐ŸŽ

From essential translation platforms, health management apps like mychart or the basics of internet privacy, we're making sure a vulnerable community isn't left behind in the tech world ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿง“๐Ÿ‘ต

Bridging the digital divide! ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐ŸŒŽ

Last Wednesday, young interns offered digital support for their Mandarin-speaking elders in our new Better Health With Your Smartphone workshop! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ

For many of these elders, navigating through the U.S. with their native language all these years hasn't been easy. After our workshop, we were happy to see seniors feeling more confident to find trustworthy information online to benefit their health and social circle! Next workshop, April 1st!

Moments like this remind us that to build community, one must be community! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
