GIVE IN MAY for J-Sei
Right now, older adults in our community are counting on us.
With your help, they can continue to receive nourishing meals, meaningful connection, and the care they deserve.
When you give to J-Sei this May, your impact is doubled. Every dollar you contribute will be matched – up to $50,000 – thanks to the generosity of Susan, Scott and Mark Muranishi; June Masuyama and Harry Bergland; Arch Insurance Group; and 5 anonymous donors. There has never been a more powerful moment to give.
We are thrilled to introduce our enthusiastic Give in May team. You can support their efforts and find out why J-Sei matters in their lives.
Arlene Swinderman, Binh Liang, Cole Yoshida, Diane Wong, Flora Ninomiya, Grant Din, Hannah Tang, Jaime Fukumae, Jane Tanamachi, Jill Shiraki, Kevin Toyama, Kris Mizutani, Ky Lam, Linda Okahara, Michael Goldrich, Mikako Amini, Mitch Muramoto, Miyuki Iwata, Naomi Yamada, Ruth Ichinaga, Sunnie Youk, Suzie Price, Tara Kawata, Tiffany Nguyen, Victor Uno, & Yuji Ishikata.
The need is real — and it is growing. Too many seniors face isolation, food insecurity, and the quiet challenges of aging alone. But together, we are changing that.
This is our moment to show up for one another.
Please don’t wait. Make your gift today — and double your impact. Click on the button below to connect to GIVE IN MAY and offer your support.
