If any folks have financial capacity, I’m collecting donations for Azay, a Japanese American owned restaurant in Little Tokyo that has been doing food distribution this week to folks who needed to evacuate from the fires, first responders, volunteers, older community members who can’t leave their home due to air quality, and our houseless neighbors. Azay is an amazing restaurant and the family that owns it does so much for the Little Tokyo community. Their head chef, the current owners father, passed away suddenly last year and it been a wild time for them so if folks can help them while they support others, that would be amazing! They’re going into the red to keep providing meals, but feel it’s pretty important that they keep doing what they’re doing.
