JAA volunteers have been making masks that we’ve donated to seniors as well as to servers at Food Bank, Bowery Mission and Coalition for the Homeless among others.

Ambassador Kanji Yamanouchi generously donated 100 bento to Project Bento and sent these messages, printed on origami paper, to senior recipients at Isabella nursing home.

JAA urgently needs your donations to continue our work for the community deeply affected by COVID-19.

Each year JAA holds a Sakura Matsuri at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where we’ve planted cherry blossom trees.

One of JAA’s newest annual events is Tanabata, which celebrates the love story of Orihime and Hikoboshi. We hold it each year at Riverside Park.

Our JAA Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year. We celebrate the successes of the organization with supporters at Harvard Club.
