Made completely from rice bags and sewn with love by Colorado local and organizer, Helen. They’re definitely imperfect but a beautiful reminder that things don’t have to be perfect to be loved.

All of proceeds from these tote bags will be donated evenly between Immigrant Freedom Fund and Colorado Trans Immigrant Fund!! Please choose between our 3 sliding scale price tiers: Grain of Rice, Bowl of Rice, and Bag of Rice.

We are open to receiving rice bag donations, especially if you’re local to Colorado - please send us a message directly if you’re interested. We can offer a discount code for responsibly recycling your rice bags and supporting our immigrant neighbors!

If you’d like to be more involved in Helen’s work - she is also creating a community cook book to feature rice dishes across various cultures and communities. The proceeds from this community cookbook will also be going to the two orgs mentioned above! Please share your favorite rice recipe to have it featured in a book that is written by and for the community:
