Twilio Celebrates AAPI Heritage Month by Highlighting Aaron Lim’s Community Impact and Service Leadership

Programming example

It only takes one person’s vision to make a difference in the communities around them. For #AAPIHeritagemonth, we are celebrating Aaron Lim, Marketing Analytics Manager.Aaron embarked on a journey one year ago this month to support his favorite San Francisco Chinatown restaurants struggling at the beginning of the pandemic. He personally delivered take-out orders to family and friends across the Bay Area that grew to a team of 20 volunteers (including a number of Twilions) by the end of May ’20. Over the span of 2.5 months, the team delivered over 1600 orders. He also started a fundraiser that raised more than $26,000 for the Chinatown Community Development Center. Aaron didn’t stop there; he also encouraged Twilions to match their donations using WePledge 1% benefits and raised an additional $6,500 for the organization.Since then, Aaron has joined the Board of Directors for the Chinatown Community Development Center and looks forward to serving the community in a greater capacity.“I’m incredibly proud of how the team came together to help the Chinatown community during its time of need. It goes to show that we can all make a difference in each of the communities we live in.”#AAPIHeritageMonth #PowerOfOne #WeBuildAtTwilio #WePledge
