To receive food you will need to register.

Some food comes with restrictions set by the donor.

  • Online Matching System

    Donors use our online matching platform to list available products. Organizations then place an order and the item is directly shipped to your organization. However, there are restrictions placed by the donor and this system is currently only in Japanese.
