Our hearts are full pencil ✏️ 📑 🏫 📚

AANHPI Unity Collective is incredibly proud to celebrate the success of our first School Supply Drive. We were honored to deliver the first half of our donated school supplies to Governor Josh Stein's office and meet with members of the Governor's staff.
This milestone would not have been possible without the generosity of our amazing donors, volunteers, community leaders, and partners. A special thank you to Love Acts Foundation for their generous support, as well as everyone who donated, even those who couldn't join us for packing and boxing.
We are especially proud of our youth leaders and volunteers, who worked tirelessly from start to finish, collecting donations, organizing, wrapping, boxing, and coordinating every detail with dedication and teamwork.

Together, we are creating meaningful change through service, compassion, and unity.
If your organization would like to collaborate with AANHPI Unity Collective, we'd love to work together to serve our community with gratitude, fairness, and respect.

Please join us in supporting students and families across North Carolina. Many families are struggling with the rising cost of living and cannot afford essential school supplies for their children. As a result, many students begin the school year without the basic tools they need to learn and succeed.
Your support can make a meaningful difference. Together, we can help provide backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and other essential supplies to children in need, ensuring they start the school year with confidence.

Every donation, big or small, helps us support our schools, our children, and our communities. Thank you for helping us give every child the opportunity to succeed.

On May 16th, the NC AANHPI Unity Collective hosted a Career Fair in partnership with the Margin of Victory Empowerment Foundation (Move NC). We brought together AANHPI professionals from a wide range of fields, including science, education, law, medicine, business, and public service, to inspire young people, share their experiences, and highlight the many ways our community contributes to society.
This event was a space for young people to share their goals, interests, and aspirations, and for our community to listen and guide them toward the paths they wish to pursue.
As we close out this month, we reflect with gratitude on all that we have accomplished, from our Career Fair on May 16th to our Wake County Proclamation, to the Asian Art Showcase at the Legislative Building, and the reception at the Governor's Mansion. Thank you to all who participated and helped make the events a success. We look forward to continuing this work in the months ahead.

On May 18, 2026, the Wake County Board of Commissioners adopted an official Proclamation recognizing May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in Wake County, North Carolina.
The Proclamation acknowledges the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to the economic growth, civic life, education, public service, healthcare, arts, and innovation of Wake County and across North Carolina — and reaffirms Wake County's commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging for all.

On May 19th, the NC AANHPI Unity Collective participated in the Asian Art Showcase at the North Carolina Legislative Building, held alongside the press conference celebrating our Wake County Proclamation.
This showcase highlighted the artistic voices and cultural contributions of AANHPI communities here in North Carolina. We are grateful to all the artists who shared their work and to everyone who attended.
