The Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC) is organizing its youth and family community Clean-Up Day at the Japanese Cemetery in Colma. Oftentimes, we find ourselves too busy in our daily lives to honor our past and remember those who have passed on. The Japanese Cemetery in Colma is a unique cultural treasure that deserves our attention, our respect, our time. The place represents our history and our loved ones. For many of us, it’s the place where our grandparents, great grandparents, parents, family and friends are laid to rest.

During our lunch break, there will be a brief overview of the history of the cemetery.

If you're volunteering, please take note of the following:
-BART is available and it's about a 15 min walk uphill from the Colma station to the cemetery
- If you're driving to the event, plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to avoid potential parking issues
- Reach out to us using the above email if you'd like to carpool with Nakayoshi
- Light lunch will be provided
- Please bring your own refillable water bottles. Water will be provided.
