It was a family affair this year at Mama’s Day, an event for Mama’s Kitchen that we are so honored to be a part of going on 20 years now. And going even further back, our owner Jason has been participating since the early days of his career…but if you know him, you’re not surprised! Thank you to everyone who was part of it this important tradition this year 💙

The event is part of raising crucial funds to help Mama’s Kitchen deliver more than 900,000 scratch-made, medically tailored meals to home-bound San Diegans battling HIV, cancer, congestive heart failure, type 2 diabetes, or chronic kidney disease this year.
