In collaboration with Nourish Together, we have distributed a combined 1,550 pounds of jasmine rice to local organizations serving our most vulnerable as of today. We are committed to distributing the remaining 450 pounds within the next week or so. Thank you for sharing this post and your kind words! We got us, MFAM. - F***y

Rice is a staple in my house and is consumed by over half of the global population. Uncooked rice can be easily stored and has a long shelf life. One pound of rice can feed approximately ten people. It’s an ingredient that has saved families from starvation, including my own.

I learned about the Great Chinese Famine a couple of years ago, which is considered the deadliest famine in recorded human history. When I saw that it occurred between 1959 and 1961, my heart sank. My grandparents, people I’ve been fortunate to learn and receive love from, lived through it. They never once mentioned it, but I see how those times impacted them.

Every grain of rice was savored. Every meal was considered sacred. I can still hear my grandparents’ urging me to, “Eat! Eat! Eat!”, even after I’ve had multiple servings. They were also the last people to eat and often ate leftovers so their grandchildren could have the freshest food available in the house. Our grandparents’ love motivates us to do what we do: spread love through food.

Currently, many neighbors among us are or will be experiencing what our grandparents went through due to the interruption of their SNAP benefits caused by the government shutdown.

To help bridge the “SNAP gap”, Mama Fang’s will be donating 2,000 pounds of jasmine rice to local organizations throughout Manhattan and the surrounding areas serving our most vulnerable.

The list of organizations we have contacted is in the comment section. Please do tag or share this post with other organizations that could benefit from this. We will try our best to accommodate.

Here is how you can support this initiative:

🍚 Share this post on social media.
🍚 Send this post directly to organizations so they are aware of this initiative.
🍚 While we are not currently accepting donations for this initiative, we encourage the more fortunate among us to shop with us and consider donating to others, especially those in need of more global staples.

Thank you to Nourish Together for agreeing to deliver the rice to these organizations through their Flint Hills Food Recovery Program.

The only way is through, and we will get through this together, MFAM. - F***y
