Rice drive report - 2HJ received 1.6 tons of rice and other food
Last month, 2HJ held a rice drive campaign in order to collect rice for those in serious need around New Year. On Dec 20, 2009, 2HJ promoted the campaign in an advertisement sponsored by Nuskin Japan in the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper. In great response to the campaign, about 120 generous donors all over the country sent us a total of 1.6 tons of rice and other food.
2HJ delivered this food to agencies and individuals such as homeless-supporting groups, agencies for low-income single mothers, and other low-income individual households. The recipients were very happy to receive the food.
2HJ is very grateful to the donors for their generous support. Thank you very much!
Donations of rice are still needed, even after the rice drive campaign, because of the large need for this staple food. In addition to rice, long-keeping foods such as retort packaged food, canned goods, and seasonings are also welcomed. 2HJ will make full use of these staples. If you such items on your kitchen shelves and will not consume them, please send them to us. Please make sure that the food has a remaining shelf life of at least one month. We greatly appreciate your cooperation.
It is not very clear but these are bags of rice sent to the 2HJ office. Thank you so much for your generous support!
