NEW YORK (PIX11) — A Manhattan high school club is raising funds to support a rebuilt local bookstore after a fire devastated it. Students aim to raise $2,000 to benefit Yu and Me Books.
Members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community at the High School of Art and Design have created "Have You Eaten Yet?" A 28-page collection of food stories that illustrate the connection between food, history, and the experiences of the AAPI community.
Proceeds will support Yu & Me Books, NYC's only Asian-owned bookstore dedicated to elevating AAPI voices.
Art and Design High School PTA IncNew Yorkers who want to support young artists can make purchases on Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m. at an event at the High School of Art and Design, located on East 56th Street.
