SPOKANE VALLEY FOOD BANK and SOUP KITCHEN

 In every culture, sharing food is an expression of love, dignity, and belonging. As we celebrate the rich flavors and wellness traditions of Asia, we also honor those in our community who are facing hunger. Supporting our local food bank and soup kitchen is not just about meals — it’s about compassion in action, and ensuring that no one is left behind at the table.

Feeding others is one of the most universal, loving things we can do — it nourishes both the giver and the receiver.

We envision a vibrant community where no one faces hunger or food insecurity—where people uplift one another through acts of kindness
