OACA's participation in 2024 Bite L&I Event
On October 15, OACA and the Chinese community we represent participated once again in 2024 Bite of L&I, a very sought-after Combined Fund Drive (CFD) event organized by State Department of Labor & Industries. Led by Ivy Jen and Alex Yuanlong Ge, 20 Chinese individuals and families contributed to this year’s event. They selflessly donated a large variety of delicious home-made food and many of them also spent time serving food at the event. They helped us raise more than $1,800, the most of any participating groups this year, and the largest amount we have ever raised in the history of this event.
As a popular annual event, the goal of Bite of L & I is to celebrate the diversity of our state by highlighting food from different cultures and ethnicities, and help those in need. Therefore, the participation of our Chinese community in such event not only gave us a good opportunity to proudly display our cultural traditions and heritage, but also enhanced our public image as a giving and caring community.
We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to this event: Bradley Farrar, Fan Zhang, Bing Xu, Yan Dai, Bella Xie, Muyan Lei, Yan Men, Jun Wang, Haisheng Mou, Yiqun Xue, Zeping, Hanxue Qiu, Yaqin Xiong, Ma Zuo, Wendy Seid, Kiki Ye, Nancy Qiongfen Wu, Fengling Wang, Wenjuan Zhao, and Wendy Chen. Thank you all for making this event so meaningful and successful and let’s do it again next year!
