Hi [Recipient Name],
I’m excited to share that I’ve created a fundraiser to support Heart of Dinner’s mission to reduce food insecurity, social isolation, and loneliness among nearly Asian American older adults living in significantly under-resourced communities across NYC.
Heart of Dinner’s signature care packages provide far beyond culturally thoughtful food—they’re symbols of love and connection. Each care package includes:
- 💌 Handwritten notes of love in the Elder’s native language, offering comfort and belonging.
- 🎨 Beautifully hand-decorated bags that brighten their week and remind them they’re never alone.
- 🍱 Nutrient-dense meals sourced from small businesses owned by BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA+ leaders.
Our Elders face challenges that go far beyond hunger:
• 1 in 3 Asian Elders in NYC lives below the poverty line—a rate much higher than the citywide average.
• Older Asian American women have disproportionately high suicide rates, driven by loneliness, mental health stigma, and a lack of culturally responsive care.
That’s why I’m asking for your support. Every dollar raised helps Heart of Dinner continue their longterm home-deliveries and build out their infrastructure to reach Elders in need.
My goal is to raise [Insert Fundraising Goal], and your support will make a real difference:
• $30 provides one care package filled with meals and love.
• $300 supports five Elders with weekly care packages for two weeks.
• $600 home-delivers care packages for 10 Elders for an entire month.
• $1,200 nourishes 10 Elders for an entire month.
Please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal. It’s easy and secure to give online, and any amount you contribute will go directly toward supporting our beloved Elders.
Join me in uplifting our community—every meal and note of love matters.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
Warmly,
[Fundraiser’s Name]
