Food of Love

Chinese American Food of Love Event

In celebration of the Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Month in May and the 151st Anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad that more than 15,000 Chinese workers helped build, Ohio Chinese American Association (OCAA) is teaming up with United Chinese Americans (UCA) and other community organizations across America to launch the “Chinese American Food of Love Day”. Starting on May 10 during the month, we will provide free food to shelters, food pantries and other locations to support fellow Americans in need in Ohio during this challenging time.
