BECOME A BENTO BUDDY! 弁当バディになりましょう!

The GVJCI Senior Bento Program is back, and we need your help! As the cost of goods and services continues to rise, we’re looking for ways to help subsidize the cost of bento lunches for our senior participants. 
​
​​ガーデナバレーJCIシニア弁当プログラムが再開し、皆様にご協力をお願いします。物品、サービスなどの価格高騰が続く中、シニア参加者のお弁当ランチ提供のために補助金を募っています。

Picture
Historically, our bento program has served approximately 30-45 bentos each weekday for seniors 60 years and older. As our Tomo No Kai senior weekday classes continue to grow, we need ongoing financial support to help provide low cost bento lunches. 
これまで、私たちの弁当プログラムは週日毎日約30-45個のお弁当を60歳以上のシニアの方々に提供してきました。友の会シニアクラスに参加される方が増えていく中で、シニアの方々に低価格ランチ弁当を提供し続けるために経済的支援が必要です。
