Saiko-i Sushi Lounge & Hibachi donates dollars from Buddha statue to Boca Helping Hands
Diners who leave money at the Buddha statue at West Boca’s Saiko-i Sushi Lounge & Hibachi restaurant are helping to pay it forward.
The restaurant owners Tina Wang and Chef Jason Zheng recently donated $2,200 of diners’ dollars to Boca Helping Hands.
The restaurateurs say they plan to make several donations to the nonprofit, which provides food, and medical and financial assistance, to meet basic human needs as well as education, job training, and guidance to create self-sufficiency.
“We had been looking for a local charity with food programs that feed people in our community, and Boca Helping Hands is the perfect fit,” Wang said. “Their food pantry programs, where they provide groceries, and their other meal programs, provide an extremely important service for adults and children. We look forward to donating the ‘Buddha money’ to this wonderful charity, throughout the year, for many years to come.”
The couple is also happy that the money can specifically be donated to BHH’s food programs, and that Saiko-i patrons can dine out and donate on a regular basis.
Boca Helping Hands Development Manager Karen Swedenborg and the Development Specialist Anna Campitelli Rubenstein recently visited Saiko-i to receive the first donation from the restaurant.
“We, at Boca Helping Hands, greatly appreciate our community partners such as Saiko-i,” Swedenborg said. “We thank Tina Wang and Chef Jason Zheng for their kindness and for choosing Boca Helping Hands to be a recipient of their restaurant patrons’ generosity. These funds will be used to help to feed our clients through our food programs.”
BHH distributes more than 70,000 pantry bags filled with groceries each year (6,000 bags per month) to qualified Palm Beach Country residents at three locations (Boca Raton, West Boca and Boynton Beach). BHH volunteers serve over 55,000 hot meals annually, six days per week, at their Boca Raton Food Center.
Saiko-i donations go towards Boca Helping Hands’ hot meal program, which serves between 150-200 meals per day, as well as the Pantry Program, which helps over 17,000 adults and children.”
Thank you
