May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, highlighting the contributions and heritage of Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander descent.

1 in 10 (10%) Asian Americans live below the poverty line; this number is even higher among Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians, where the rate is just above 1 in 6 (18%), according to the US Department of the Treasury.

The shortage of resources experienced by Pacific Islander communities is exacerbated by the high cost of living in areas like Hawaii, where (according to the US Department of Agriculture), groceries cost an average of 52% more than they do in the continental United States.
