Chinatown librarian arranges grocery delivery
Due to the closure of the only full-service grocery stores in Chinatown, local residents, particularly the elderly and low-income individuals living in single-room occupancy apartments, face increasing food scarcity. Librarian Lynn Nguyen, motivated by community need, organized volunteer efforts involving nearly 400 teenagers to deliver groceries to residents, especially those homebound or disabled. Since 2022, volunteers have distributed fresh food and produce, with efforts continuing through regular door-to-door deliveries and supporting programs like CalFresh enrollment.
