Miku Sushi at 68 Greenwich Ave. in Greenwich has relaunched its popular nonprofit partnership campaign this month with the local food pantry, Neighbor to Neighbor. The restaurant”™s co-owners K Dong and chef Steve Chen first connected with the organization in March when they delivered a food and supply donation.
“It”™s important for us to be involved with the community,” said Dong. “We are grateful for the warm welcome we received when we opened last year and for the support we received during this year”™s pandemic. Our goal is to pay it forward, promote the spirit of giving and also strengthen our relationship with our customers.”
Known for distributing clothing, supplies and food to at-risk families in the Greenwich area, Neighbor to Neighbor has focused solely on food assistance and has temporarily closed its clothing room due to the Covid pandemic.
One hundred percent of proceeds from the Neighbor Strong roll and #GiveHealthy appetizer during the month of November will be donated to Neighbor to Neighbor. Anyone living in the Greenwich area with food insecurities should contact the Greenwich Department of Human Services 203-622-7793 for assistance with the food pantry program.
Neighbor to Neighbor is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1975 and is the only food pantry in Greenwich and currently provides food assistance to 550-plus households in Greenwich each week, an almost 100% increase since early 2020.
The award-winning Miku Sushi restaurant offers a gourmet-style menu inspired by Japan cuisine. It has become a Greenwich attraction and is open seven days a week for lunch, dinner, takeout and on-site catering.
