Give in May for J-Sei

Dear Friends & Family,

For those of you who don't know my connection with J-Sei, I joined the J-Sei team in 2018 as the Senior Services Manager after volunteering for a summer during grad school.  In almost two years that I have been involved at J-Sei I have seen firsthand the valuable work that is being done to support and nourish older adults in our community.  It's rare for me to reach out to ask for your support in this manner however this fundraising campaign seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to share my work and passion with you.

Since the start of this pandemic, J-Sei's senior nutrition program has seen the demand for our home-delivered meals grow at an exponential rate. Every day I receive calls from older adults in our community who are struggling to access food and supplies during these unprecedented times.  Your contributions during this campaign will help sustain services like our senior nutrition program, providing warm and nutritious Japanese meals to the homes of over 100 seniors over 190 square miles from central Oakland through El Cerrito in Northern California.

I know that these are difficult times for everyone but I hope you consider donating towards this important cause. 

With gratitude,
Tara
