I am shocked Japan does not have many food banks. Second Harvest is my favourite charity to donate to and great to see them getting coverage

It's called having honor

Most impressive, having worked here in two food banks before, some of what you both discussed, I feel could easily be incorporated here too. The kids cafe also is a wonderful idea. That to me this is priceless in how it is handled and run.

Thanks so much for watching and your comments.

Thank you for the superb documentary, quite interesting to hear about their process. On a certain level it seems Japans obsession with perfect/beautiful regional produce is beneficial for the foodbank.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, they will get more usable food because it is not pristine on the outside. They certainly had a lot of bananas the day I went there. Thanks for commenting Simon.

Crazy to think that it's cheaper for some food producers to donate food to charitable organizations, than it is for them to destroy it themselves. And it's too bad that the welfare system isn't more effective in Japan, especially with society being so focused on not wanting to stand out or creating work for others. Thanks for sharing!

That is so nice thank you for your work and greetings from Germany I would love to help out somehow

Thank you very much! I left the links to the organization in the videos description.

Can i physically volunteer? I have some experience in logistic center. I can get airfare but accomodation and food expenses will be an issue....

Yes, many volunteers were there when I took the video. It’s located In Akihabara.
