Direct Food Deliveries to Those Affected.

My dear friend, Tim Rabone sends this:


Second Harvest Japan is collecting and delivering food + other
necessaries. directly to the affected areas.  Send the food to the
address at the bottom of the page and (provided it is not past its
sell by date, etc) they parcel it up and arrange for it to be
delivered to the shelters.  Seems much more effective than a cash
donation to me. Note: People living outside Japan are apparently 
limited to cash donations. If you're in Japan you can send items 
directly to Second Harvest.

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
