Konnichiwa NSC’ers! If you’re not already familiar with “The Joy of Soy”, San Francisco Nichi Bei is hosting their 9th annual San Francisco Soy and Tofu Festival on June 29, 2019 at The Event Center at St. Mary’s Cathedral from 11am – 5pm. I’m this year’s Volunteer Coordinator and we need volunteers to help set up booths, assist with food prep, info sharing, clean-up, etc. I’m looking for volunteers for 2 different shifts: 8am – 1pm (includes setup/prep) OR 12:30pm – 5:30pm (includes cleanup). In addition to volunteering your time for a worthy fundraising event for the Nichi Bei Foundation, you get free attendance to check out this fun event AND you get a free VERY cute T-Shirt similar to the design on our website below!

I’ve volunteered at the festival for the past 2 years and it’s always a TON of fun!  There is LIVE music and entertainment, tofu competitions, cooking demos, children’s activities, raffle prizes and many Asian Vendors selling everything from cute Asian inspired t-shirts to art and jewelry and more. We also need more Vendors, so if you have Asian inspired Crafts, please check out our Vendor information in the URL below.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at: volunteer@soyandtofufest.org

Hope you can volunteer to help at a booth or just drop in and attend the event! I’ll be working at the event all day and hope to see you there!
