Thank you Simone and our amazing volunteers at New Americans Blessing Box for giving the Blessing Box such a deep cleaning today. The room smells so fresh and looks wonderful. We truly appreciate your time, hard work, and dedication to helping us create a welcoming space for our community. We could not do this without volunteers like you. Thank you again for all that you do!

Family Style! 💛🌺 This Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, we recognize and celebrate the vast, vibrant cultures of our neighbors with roots across the entire Asian continent as well as the Pacific island conglomerates of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

Great for "luaus, parties, and potlucks," try out this Chicken Long Rice recipe for a taste of Hawaii this May at bit.ly/ohr-clr!

Tip: Peeling ginger by scraping it with a spoon is a great way to keep more of the root intact for use! 🥄

Another 2025 study by the ultra conservative Cato Institute. Native-born U.S. citizens: much higher incarceration rate (~1,221 per 100 000). Undocumented immigrants: substantially lower incarceration rate (e.g., ~613 per 100 000).
