Harvest for Hunger October 16, 2007
Post-event summary
A big “thank you” to all the 102 people who braved the rain to come to Harvest for Hunger at Fujimamas in Omotesando on October 16. While enjoying delicious and unique food and drinks, attendees learned more about 2HJ’s mission and goals and how they can get involved.
Thanks also to Fujimamas, who kindly hosted the event and, in the last year, provided a total of 1,200 boxed lunches to a women’s shelter 2HJ supports. Also, a very special thanks to Nagano Trading Company for the donation of beer and to Tomei Wines for the donation of wine! Both were happily received.
The presentations at the event focused on 2HJ’s efforts to establish local Second Harvest Pantries nationwide. If you or your organization is able to function as a local pantry, please contact us at /03-3838-3827.
The measure of the greatness of any society is how it deals with those who are least well-off.
Your continued commitment is a reflection of this statement. On behalf of those we serve, Thank you.
October 16 is our annual Harvest for Hunger event to mark World Food Day. This year’s event is by far the most important because we need your help this fall to reach the +650,000 who do not have food security.
Find out how you can help with:
1) Creating a national pantry system to serve low-income households and individuals in need
2) Nation-wide food drive during the month of November
3) Participating in No Hunger for the Holidays (December 15-January 4)
Your presence will make a difference to those who go without each day.
