Our Mission

Proceeds from Ayame Kai Markets will directly benefit Keiro Northwest’s eldercare programs, including Nikkei Manor Assisted Living and the Kokoro Kai Adult Day Program. Your support helps provide essential services, cultural programs, and community care for our elders. Keiro Northwest’s mission is to honor the past and preserve the Japanese-American heritage, by providing uniquely tailored care programs to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our elders. Our senior care programs are only possible with the generous support from a community that values our Japanese American elders.
