Club-Supported Charity Opens Facility

The Club-supported charity Second Harvest Japan opened a new kitchen facility on October 5.

The Club's Women's Group donated ¥2 million towards the project, which will help the food bank prepare meals for the homeless and after-school programs in Tokyo.

"I hope that this kitchen will not be needed in a few years, but until the day comes when our society no longer needs food banks, the opening of this kitchen means Second Harvest can do even more to improve food security and help that one more person in need," said Therese Cowled of the Women's Group, who attended the opening of the facility in Asakusabashi.

The Women's Group has supported Second Harvest Japan for a number of years, most recently in its Kumamoto earthquake relief efforts this year.
