University Students from Nagoya Join Us!

On October 16 and 17, 5 university students from Nagoya participated in JapanHarvest’s activities. They are studying food waste reduction initiatives and visited us to observe our "warehouse-free food bank model." Unlike traditional food banks, our food rescue activities involve collecting food directly from supermarkets, convenience stores, and manufacturers and delivering it immediately to those in need.During the 2 days, we collected food from 10 supermarkets, 6 convenience stores, a Japanese confectionery company, a hotel, and a bakery. These were donated to government agencies, children's homes, children's cafeterias, shelters for children, and organizations supporting immigrants.We will continue to welcome visits and share our model to promote awareness of food rescue efforts. If you are interested, feel free to contact us!
