Yama Sushi Marketplace is organizing volunteers to help assemble bento boxes, each containing Chicken Katsu, Spam Musubi, sushi and veggies that go to people affected by the Southern California fires. Volunteers can also include handwritten, heartfelt notes, to help provide comfort and send love; the boxes have already gone to places like the South Pasadena San Marino YMCA, Pasadena-Sierra Madre YMCA, Pasadena Buddhist Temple, Altadena Presbyterian Church, Pasadena Japanese Cultural Institute and more.
