What better way to kick off #AAPIHeritageMonth than supporting a great cause with the Lockton TL Team and Karina Wong, Programming Director for Meals for Unity. What began as a one-time event in 2020 to feed and aid the Asian community in NYC (amid the surge in social disparities) has turned into a full-fledged nonprofit dedicated to this cause. It was so inspiring to hear their story and growing impact. We donated to their cause, decorated bags for this weekend’s food deliveries and enjoyed Dim Sum Go Go, a restaurant they frequently support…SO good! Thanks, Karina and Kevin! #LocktonCares Azena Correa John Burkinshaw Nicole McCarthy Eddie Kim Hayley DeMartine Annie Heiss Hannah Haley Young Nick Hill Marissa Alverzo Audrey Bailey Eileen Kuo Jason Sandler Gaurav Sud Alex Connelly
