” Rescue Japan is a non-profit relief effort working to collect and donate supplies for those affected by the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami and Earthquake.
This initiative is a great way for you get involved by donating goods to those in crisis. We are collecting items and monetary donations to send collected supplies directly to the evacuation shelters and to support centers setup in the communities where victims have fled for shelter and safety. While the Japanese government and foreign aid donations will help the survivors with immediate necessities, we hope to also provide the victims with items that will help them rebuild their everyday lives.”

Message from Charles McJilton, Second Harvest Japan:
Many people from overseas have asked what they can do to help and some have wanted to send us food. The best way is through financial donations. For every $1 donated, we can deliver $10 worth of food. If people have already collected food, we are suggesting they donate this to the local food bank and the money they would have spent on postage can be donated to us. A typical box of food sent to Japan will cost about $20 in postage. Using the postage as a financial donation, we can deliver more than $200 worth of food.

Quote from facebook page:
Aims: To save as many lives as possible. To build the foundations of recovery. Working together with the Cabinet Secretariat’s Volunteers Coordination Office to receive local information, “Tasukeai Japan” is a project which supports volunteer-led relief activities.
We will gather and deliver information such as abundance and shortage of supplies in the area, what help is needed and what has been taken care of already for people (both victims and volunteers) in devastated areas, and for people in non-devastated areas who are willing to send supplies or go in for help.
We will also be an information hub of wisdom and know-how for volunteers working on the ground, offering solutions for specific issues they face in helping people.
And, we will make the many prayers and encouragements visible to those who suffer in the affected areas.
In this Facebook page, we will update the latest information, call for words and images of encouragement, and link to fund-raising.
We are preparing the website at full speed to launch next week.
“Tasukeai” means people supporting and helping each other. We are proud that we have this word in Japanese. We ask for many to join in and work together here.
