Second Harvest Japan

Location: Taito-ku, Japan

Summary

Marugohan is an innovative project to make food assistance accessible in a way that makes sense to us here by tapping into the best of Japanese culture: (ongaeshi - giving back). We believe this deeply held value can unlock the reticent many feel in receiving food assistance. Marugohan will create virtuous cycle in which people will give back as they receive food assistance. Each time some takes home food they will make a commitment to do something good by paying it forward.
