Currently 2HJ is having a Winter Fundraising Campaign.
As the holiday season approaches, Second Harvest Japan (2HJ) staff and volunteers are trying even harder to deliver mottainai food* to those in need. This food is a great help to children at orphanages, who cannot spend time with their families even during the holidays, struggling single-mother households, elderly people without families, and those who lost their homes because of layoffs.
So far this year, 2HJ has delivered hundreds of tons of mottainai food to those in need. But the season of the most need is yet to come. Every day, 2HJ receives phone calls saying, “I need your help. Please send us food!” We will deliver food to even more people so that those in need at least know where their meals are coming from during the holiday season.
Many mottainai food donations come to 2HJ’s warehouse every day. To deliver the food to those in need, we need your support. Your gifts will deliver food to those in need. Please make a gift for 2HJ’s winter fundraising campaign.
Your 1,000 yen gift will deliver 14,000 yen worth food to those in need
2HJ receives not only phone calls asking for help, but also many calls saying, “I received your food. Your help meant a lot to me. Thank you so much!” We cannot showcase all these voices but they are so grateful for your support. We thank you on behalf of our clients.
You can make a gift here.
Thank you very much again for your understanding and generous gift.
Your gift will deliver food with your warm-heartedness to those in need!
* What is mottainai food ? Food manufacturers, sellers, and farmers usually make and store more food than they actually sell because it is extremely difficult for them to predict exactly how much of their products consumers will purchase. Also, because of consumers’ high standards, even slightly damaged products such as dented canned goods are not good enough in commercial markets. 2HJ collects those mottainai food and distributes them to people in need. 2HJ would like you to join us to accomplish the great dream of expanding this cost-effective system to every town and village all over the country.
