About Us

At BIGWOK, our mission is to reduce food insecurity among immigrant families in New York City. We believe the best way to do that is by helping them set up a foundation for a brighter future and support them every step of the way.

Around 25% of immigrants experience food insecurity. Limited access to residency or citizenship hinders economic stability. Additionally, language barriers pose significant difficulties for newcomers.

Through our comprehensive programs, we empower individuals to thrive in their new home:

  • Our Green Card assistance helps guide people through the complex immigration process to secure permanent residency.

  • Our ESL training equips people with the language skills needed to communicate effectively and pursue educational and career opportunities.

  • As immigrants settle into their new lives, we provide support in obtaining citizenship, ensuring they have a voice in shaping their future.

With the power of community, compassion, and opportunity, we can build a city where immigrant families can thrive, flourish, and call home. Join us in making a difference, one family at a time.
