Twenty volunteers from the Chinese Students Association from the University of Washington (CSA) gladly gave out bags of rice to seniors in need on Oct. 4.

On Oct. 4th volunteers got together to give the gift of rice. The Chinese American Citizens Alliance (CACA) in conjunction with Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC) handed out 170 tickets for two five-pound bags of rice to help feed needy seniors. Enough funds were raised to buy 2000 lbs of rice total.

The Chinese American Citizens Alliance, has over 100 years of history of continuous existence serving in a dual role as a social club and as a national nonpartisan activist organization for Chinese American empowerment and community service. ♦
