Kombat Arts Kristmas Lunch for the Homeless
[x_blockquote cite="Edgar Obregan, Co-Owner, Kombat Arts Training Academy" type="left"]"What an amazing experience this was. To serve some of those in need on Christmas Day was an emotional roller-coaster for me. From planning the event, coordinating the volunteers, prepping the food and setting up the site and ensuring we met our objective of providing a hot meal to those less fortunate on Christmas Day . All of this would not have happened if it were not for all the amazing people that either contributed their time, resources or monetary donations. This was a true display of the culture we have at Kombat Arts. A Martial Arts community dedicated to the craft we practice but also the society we live in."[/x_blockquote]
On Christmas Day, Staff, Members, and Friends of The Kombat Arts Training Academy came together and gathered donations of food, clothing, and basic necessities and set up at St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto. Their mission was to spread the joy of the holiday season and give to those who are less fortunate. It started off as a food and clothing drive but quickly became so much more. The Kombat Family spirit came alive and spread throughout the area.
