On June 10, 2020, the Lotus Light Charity Society (LLCS) distributed 8 pallets (equivalent to 6,130 lbs) of vegetable spring rolls and pork dumplings to local community members in hopes of easing the burden of food security.
This morning, the LLCS worked with seven community-service groups to deliver these items to over 1,100 low income-families, unemployed individuals, struggling seniors, immigrants, disabled individuals, and inner-city elementary school children.
Master Lian Tzi, president of the LLCS, reflected on this donation from Fine Choice Foods. “Before the pandemic, about half of our recipient families were unemployed, and now, closer to 70% of recipient families are unemployed. The need is much greater now and we appreciate the kindness of our different communities coming together to help each other during this difficult time. We are grateful for these deliciously prepared spring rolls and pork dumplings thanks to the generosity of Fine Choice Food and their warehouse team in Richmond.”
By working together with LLCS’s several community-service partners, today’s donation helped struggling people across Metro Vancouver, including residents of East Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, Pitt Meadows, Mission, and even Merritt.
The LLCS is proud to be serving those who need our help and will continue to extend its services and programs to those in need. The LLCS thanks its volunteers, corporate and individual sponsors, and partner community service organizations for all their generosity and support in helping our programs run successfully.
