Second Harvest Food Drive at Walkathon
NPO Second Harvest Nagoya will have a booth set up at the 2015 Chubu Walkathon and welcome donations of non-perishable food items. That said, don't feel you have to run out and buy a cart-load of food. Even if you have unopened, non-perishable foods items kicking around the pantry that seemed like a good idea at the time but now you figure you probably won't consume, bring 'em along!
Second Harvest will be collecting:
- Rice and Pasta
- Freeze Dried Foods
- Processed Foods (Canned Goods, etc...)
- Instant Foods, Foods in Ready-Made Packs
- Gift Sets (Gifts and Souvenirs such as Oseibo, Ochugen, etc...)
- Cooking Supplies (Miso, soy sauce, dashi, etc...)
- Drinks (Coffee, Tea, Juice etc...)
Important points to check before bring your donation!!
- Product has an expiration date that is clearly labeled.
- (Your donation must have at least 1 month remaining before the expiration date)
- Products from overseas sometimes use manufacturing codes for expiration dates. Unfortunately, we cannot accept these donations.
- Product is unopened and the packaging is in good condition.
- No glass containers and perishable food.
