Second Harvest Japan  

Second Harvest Japan

Umamimart has partnered with Second Harvest Japan, a Tokyo-based organization and Japan's first food bank. In the wake of the quake, they hit the ground running, and have been driving two-ton truckloads of food, water and vital necessities into northern Japan EVERY DAY. Although they are little-known here in the states, they are well-regarded in Japan, having provided food for soup kitchens, orphanages and the elderly, since 2000.

All proceeds of THE GIFT OF FOOD benefit will go to Second Harvest Japan, and we assure you that it will be specifically be geared towards all earthquake and tsunami relief funds. We believe in their mission, and are in constant contact with its executive director and staff, who are all running around trying to get operations streamlined to deliver necessities daily, into northern Japan.

Umamimart is a website bringing people together and sharing experience through food. Second Harvest Japan strives to do this on the ground, for victims of the 2011 Sendai Earthquake and Tsunami. They are our heroes, and from the streets of San Francisco, let’s give them the GIFT OF FOOD.

See you on the 5th!

Love,

Kayoko + Yoko
Team Umamimart
