JSS Program & Volunteer Appriciation

The 25th Holiday Drive 

Thank you for your generous support to our 2024 Holiday Drive. The Holiday Drive program received overwhelming responses and donations as heartfelt expressions of goodwill from community members. We are extremely grateful for your continued support. The gifts were delivered to 41 families, consisting of 98 individuals, including many children and elders, prior to the holiday. The JSS Holiday Drive, which supports those facing difficult situations in our community, would not have been possible without your generous support. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who made a donation, helped with promotional efforts, as well as to the volunteers who created heartfelt greeting cards and those who delivered gifts. Thank you all for your kindness and dedication. 

Volunteer Appreciation Party 

On November 10th, 2024, over 30 volunteers and board members gathered in the Hosaki Room at JCCC for the annual JSS Volunteer Appreciation Party. While enjoying delicious Japanese dishes such as oden, kushikatsu, and sushi rolls specially prepared by Cafe Green Tea, attendees spent a wonderful time connecting with one another through conversations and activities. It was a great opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the ongoing support and dedication of our volunteers.
