This Giving Tuesday, Help NHPI Families Stay Connected, Prepared, and Seen
Why your Giving Tuesday gift matters
-
Culturally driven connection: Living Islands provides cultural engagement that reaches otherwise isolated parts of our NHPI community—through events, forums, and hands-on learning grounded in Pacific Islander traditions.
-
First cultural food drive in Oregon during COVID: When the pandemic hit, Living Islands organized the first cultural food drive in Oregon, centered on Pacific Islander foods and practices, ensuring families received support in ways that felt familiar and respectful.
-
Working across counties and sectors: Today, we work across multiple Oregon counties and with state agencies to support health equity, youth programs, food security, and emergency preparedness for NHPI families—through initiatives like GoFishPI, cultural health forums, digital inclusion, and more.
