The Ranger Conservation Corps Internship

A WARM WELCOME TO HEART OF DINNER'S DECORATED BAG PROJECT! Decorated bags and handwritten notes are at the heart of our mission to reduce food insecurity and isolation among Asian American Elders living in significantly under-resourced and underinvested communities. Through our signature care packages, we create moments of joy, emotional connection, and nourishment that honor our Elders' physical, emotional, and mental well-being. ​ We currently serve our community through two vital programs: Our foundational NYC program, home-delivering 700+ weekly care packages to Elders year-round Our LA emergency relief effort providing 1,000 emergency care packages to Elders affected by the wildfires ​ WHY DECORATED BAGS MATTER Each bag you create becomes part of a holistic care package that nurtures both body and spirit. Your artistic expression transforms a simple delivery into a meaningful exchange of love between generations and cultures.  NYC: Your decorated bags are essential to our weekly care packages reaching 700+ Elders. Every week brings new opportunities to strengthen these cherished community bonds through art and heart. ​ LA Emergency Relief: As we provide 1,000 emergency care packages to Elders affected by the wildfires, your decorated bags help maintain dignity and human connection during challenging times. Any surplus bags will join our NYC weekly deliveries, ensuring every artistic contribution helps strengthen our community ties. A WARM WELCOME TO HEART OF DINNER'S DECORATED BAG PROJECT!
