‘Peony Rice Bowl’ Linocut Art Print Greeting Card - 5”x7” Blank Card & Envelope

Each card purchase sponsors one original handmade art postcard to seniors living in the Chinatown, NYC community. These postcards with heartwarming messages are attached to bags of home cooked meals courtesy of the non-profit organization, Heart of Dinner and their #lovingchinatown initiative.
