The Chinese American Citizens Alliance (C.A.C.A.) Seattle Lodge celebrated the 15th anniversary of its annual rice drive last month—distributing 1,500 pounds of rice and other gifts to 300 older adults in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID).
Organized in partnership with the Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC), the event also provided 300 sticky rice dumplings, 300 packages of Chinese vermicelli, 300 oranges and 300 red envelopes.

The annual tradition began 15 years ago as a Girl Scout service project initiated by the daughter of Ming-Ming Tung-Edelman, a founder and former president of C.A.C.A. Seattle Lodge.
This year’s event included approximately 25 members of Boy Scout Troop 254, who helped package and distribute the donations. Sun Food Company donated the rice.
