On June 16, KAAGNY joined Assemblymember Alicia Hyndman's office to commemorate Juneteenth and to show its support for the Jubilee to Juneteenth Food & Produce Giveaway.

Gathering at St. Luke's Baptist Church in Jamaica, Queens, representatives from KAAGNY contributed 500 servings of bulgogi and 800 boxes of Choco Pie with printed guides on how to cook the bulgogi at home. The contribution was made possible by funds raised from the COVID-19 Share the Love Food Relief Campaign, which KAAGNY launched in September 2020.

Additionally, members from the Korean American community pledged their support for the week-long Jubilee to Juneteenth event. On June 19, Assemblymember Hyndman and her office organized a block party in Queens wherein hair manufacturer Shake-N-Go made a monetary donation for entertainment and Feel Beauty Supply donated beauty products as giveaway prizes to support the success of the event.
