Koreisha Senior Care & Advocacy Flea Market

A flea market happened on Saturday, October 22nd at Gardena.

It was held by the Koreisha Senior Care & Advocacy (KSCA) as a fundraiser to rebuild a nursing home for the Japanese and Japanese American communities.

23 organizations and businesses participated, like the Southern California Gardeners Federation and the Japanese Prefectural Association.
The bazaar had a variety of goods including second-hand items and precious goods.

Different booths like clothing, miscellaneous goods, bonsai, ceramics, textiles, traditional Japanese dolls, and crafts were at the event, and visitors enjoyed their shopping.

KSCA was founded in 2016 after the sale of Keiro Senior Facilities and is currently on a mission to open a new nursing home.

About 200 people attended the event. Silent auctions were also held and a total of $12,000 were raised.

The money raised will all go towards rebuilding a Japanese American nursing facility.
