⭐A Heartfelt Congratulations to Our Co-Founder, James Huang!⭐
​
Last night, James was honored with the ACP Community Service Award at ACP MetroCon, and we couldn’t be more proud!🎉

For decades, James has worn many hats in community service, always stepping up to support those in need. His unwavering dedication and compassion have touched countless lives and continue to inspire all of us at NiHao.

This award is a testament to his incredible work and the positive impact he’s made in our community. Thank you, James, for leading by example and reminding us of the power of giving back.

Let’s celebrate this well-deserved recognition together!​

In recognition of September’s Hunger Action Month, Southlake's Durham Intermediate School collected over 500 jars of peanut butter and raised an additional $1,000 through virtual donations to benefit the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB).

Former Durham student and NiHao Food Bank Initiative student ambassador Athena Wen
introduced the NTFB's annual peanut butter drive to the school this year. The drive is especially
impactful because peanut butter is essential to food banks thanks to its long shelf life and
nutritional value, providing critical support for those in need. The North Texas Food Bank expressed deep appreciation for Durham’s contributions, noting how the school's efforts stood out among others.

"Durham’s participation in this year’s peanut butter drive has been outstanding, and their
generosity will help spread hope to children and families facing hunger," says Johnny Jenkins, Manager of Strategic Initiatives at the North Texas Food Bank.

​We had the pleasure of speaking with North Texas Food Bank's Erica Yaeger at NiHao's annual meeting! In this video, Mrs. Yaeger discusses NiHao's impact on food insecurity in North Texas. Texas is the hungriest state in the nation, and NiHao can mobilize the Chinese American community to volunteer, it makes an incredible difference. It means someone has hope for the future and a brighter tomorrow! As we begin the 2024-2025 year, we are committed to continuing our fight against food insecurity in Texas, and we’re excited to make a difference in our community!
