NAAAP-Seattle would like to invite you to join our team for Walk for Rice on June 28th at Seward Park.
Walk for Rice is a fund-raising event for Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS) to buy rice and other food for the ACRS Food Bank. This is a 2.5 mile walk/run with over 1,000 participants each year. The ACRS Food Bank is one of the most visited food banks in King County and the only one in the state that regularly provides foods that are familiar to the Asian and Pacific Islander diet. More than 5,136 people rely on this food bank each year, with nearly 80% being children under 18 years or seniors with the average age of 73 years.
We are excited for Asian American professionals to come together and show support for this great cause. Join our team today!

Walk for Rice is a community-powered fundraiser benefiting the ACRS Food Bank, which provides nutritious, culturally familiar foods to thousands of individuals and families in need.
Most food banks offer limited choices and often lack staples important to Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander diets. Walk for Rice helps close that gap by raising funds for
rice, tofu, fresh produce, and more. Every dollar raised helps ensure our neighbors facing food insecurity can access the foods they know and need.
