Hello There, #GraciousGrub hits NYC!

What is GraciousGrub?  It is an series of food events organized by Uniiverse over two weeks to raise funds for the Food Bank of NYC.  Why?  Because 20% of our cities' children rely upon soup kitchens and food pantries run by organizations such as the Food Bank to eat.  Because 1.4 million people  rely upon emergency food stores to eat.  Because 1 out of 6 seniors in our city need food support.  That's why.

You can help!  Join any of the events being held over the next two weeks.  And as a shameless plug, you should join us for dumplings!  That's right, you probably already know, but as a gentle reminder we really would love a HUGE turnout for our NYC Chinatown Dumpling Tour on Monday, June 24 at 6 PM.  Not only will you feed your belly with dumpling and feed your mind with Chinese food culture, but you will also fill your soul contributing to this worthwhile cause!

So, did I interest you in some dumplings yet?  If so, sign up on Uniiverse for our tour:

NYC Chinatown Dumpling Tour, choose the June 24 date

That's all there is.  So sign up, show up, and get ready to eat!  Whether it is for our dumpling tour or for any of the other great events lined up, you will be lending your hand towards ending food poverty in NYC.

Dumplings and Donations Part II

We here at Dumplr Central are big believers in giving back to our community. Last year we participated in Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and held a couple of very successful tours to support recovery efforts from Super Storm Sandy.

This year we are helping our friends Uniiverse (the fine people behind our new booking system) with their GraciousGrub NYC event to support the Food Bank of NYC.  Hunger is a very real problem in NYC and the Food Bank provides over 400,000 meals a day for those around our city.

How can you help?  Sign up for my NYC Chinatown Dumpling Tour on June 24 at 6 PM.  We will walk through Chinatown, sampling all sorts of dumplings from around China, learn about the history of the area, and enjoy the excellent company of others.  More importantly though, all proceeds (that is 100%) go to the Food Bank of NYC and help them continue on the fight against hunger in NYC.  

I want this event to be BIG as every dollar goes back to the Food Bank and helps our fellow NY'ers in need.  If you cannot attend my fine event, consider other events during the week long GraciousGrub event.  You can also help by reblogging this post, tweeting my event, sharing on Facebook, whatever gets the message out to your friends and followers.  I really appreciate it and looking forward to an excellent June 24th dumpling tour!
