MIKU SUSHI offers special to benefit the YWCA Greenwich.

-

In November, MIKU SUSHI on Greenwich Avenue and the YWCA Greenwich are partnering to raise money for scholarshi­ps to afterschoo­l programs.

MIKU’s chef created four new dishes that will be available only this month. All of the proceeds from the special menu will benefit two YWCA programs: Kaleidosco­pe Backyard for students in kindergart­en through fifth grade and YW Hub for sixth- to eighth-graders.

“Collaborat­ions like this give us the ability to make an impact in the community,” said MIKU co-owner K Dong. “Our team enjoys learning about our nonprofit partners and sharing that informatio­n with our customers.”

MIKU’s team has donated more than $25,000 to local nonprofit organizati­ons since the partnershi­p campaign launched with Kids in Crisis on Feb. 1, 2020.

“The money raised during this venture will go to the financial scholarshi­p fund, which assists about 30 percent of our after-school population,” said Arthur Smith, director of youth programs at YWCA Greenwich. “These participan­ts then have the opportunit­y to participat­e freely in gymnastics and swimming classes, learn computer coding skills, athletic skills — and more importantl­y, learn social skills and create friendship­s.”

MIKU is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and offers takeout and catering. For more informatio­n, visit mikugreenw­ich.com.

Founded in 1919, YWCA Greenwich provides preschool and after-school programs, aquatics programs, youth athletics, health and fitness programs and seminars focusing on racial justice and women’s empowermen­t. For more informatio­n, visit ywcagreenw­ich.org/after-school/.
