Using the Library of Congress as a point of reference, through our Heritage Months, we recognize the history and contributions of various cultures by providing education and context as well as employee recognition, deeply rooted in storytelling around food, family, and tradition.

Each May, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month honors the generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for their contributions to American history, society, and culture. The celebration originated in 1978 when Congress passed a joint Congressional Resolution to celebrate Asian American Heritage Week, which was held during the first 10 days of May.

We asked our employees to share their thoughts on their food, culture, and traditions.
