ABOUT

The NYC Mid-Autumn Fest is a celebration of AAPI-made music, art and food and the culmination of a fundraiser to provide meals for the food insecure in our community. Appropriately held on the Harvest Moon holiday, it shines a light on the bounty of diversity and talent within the AAPI community while helping feed those in need.  

WHY

Our goal is to raise $20,000 US, through which will benefit:

• Meals for Unity, a nonprofit organization that provides food and community for those in need
• The Mid-Autumn Festival, so the event becomes a reality. Our mission is to uplift the Asian-American creative community by creating spaces for them to share their art and, importantly, to help them get paid for it so that they can keep making more.

ABOUT MEALS FOR UNITY

As a group of young professionals who are predominantly first-generation Americans, we understand the unique challenges and needs of the elderly AAPI community. Our experiences, along with those passed on to us from generations prior, have shaped our perspectives and gave us the knowledge and tools to be able to empathize, support, and uplift this neglected sector of the community.

By leveraging their resources, networks, and professional experiences, they source culturally relevant meals from locally owned AAPI restaurants, catering to the specific dietary needs and preferences of the elderly AAPI community while stimulating the Chinatown economy. Their goal is to provide not just sustenance, but also a sense of comfort and nostalgia; paying homage to the heritage of those they serve.

By the end of 2023, we have served over 14,700 free meals, have executed 38 meal distribution events, have been aided by over 570 volunteers, recorded more than 3,000 volunteer hours, and have partnered with over 45 corporate sponsors, non-profits, and local restaurants.

ABOUT MOONLITE

Moonlite exists to uncover, illuminate, and elevate the diverse perspectives and expressions from Asian American artists and creatives. We create wholly unique experiences to build our collective sustainability. In plain speak, we love showcasing the diverse talents of our community by creating spaces for them to share their art and, importantly, to help them get paid for it so that they can keep making more. 

While our goal is to build up the Asian American creative community and foster sustainable careers, we believe wholeheartedly that this is best achieved when everyone is having A GOOD TIME.
