“Better to ligh a candle than curse the darkness” 1 month campaign
2016/7/23
【Today is FoodBank day!】
November 23rd is “Labor thanksgiving day” in Japan and it is a public holiday. The date was originally harvest celebration day in Japan since Asuka Period (AC 592-710). Japan was agricultural country so the people celebrated the harvest and show appreciation to the food and to each other on this day.
As we announced, we are launching 1 month campaign from Today.
“Better to light a candle than curse the darkness”
Please join us and vote for a society in which everyone has access to the food they need. Let’s light a candle on the table for the people in need in Japan.
Action 1★Hold a food drive
Donated food will be delivered to the table of families

Action 2★Donate funds
Our goal is to provide 100,000 meals for the families in need by the end of the year.We can provide food for the people in need for 27yen/meal. We need your help to bridge the donated food and the families in need.
