Welcome to Chinatown and Immigrant Social Services are launching the Read it Forward campaign, supporting Grades 1-5 students in Chinatown and LES with books purchased from local Chinatown bookstore, Eastern Book Store NYC.

It’s hard to believe we recently surpassed our first six months as a grassroots initiative. So much and so little seems to have changed. While we’re still in the midst of a pandemic, major economic loss, a continued fight for racial justice, political turmoil, natural disasters… we really had to take a step back to appreciate what is good in the world, and that starts with you, our donors. Together, we have put back more than $250,000 into Chinatown’s small businesses. Thank you.
