Funds raised at Tabemasho go to support The Center’s programming throughout the year, including classes, presentations, community programs, and cultural events. Volunteer duties will be assigned as needed, but include helping with prepping and serving food, helping run events during the gala, and picking up and sorting trash and recycling. Nakayoshi volunteers generally get assigned to help with bartending, though may be asked to assist with other tasks as described above.
