Resource Center Food Drive

Do you have extra food in your kitchen cupboards? A spare can of pineapples or tomato sauce, perhaps? If you do and are willing to part with them, you can give them to a good cause. Between March 3, 2025 (Mon) and March 14, 2025 (Fri), the Resource Center will accept food donations. These will later be sent to the local non-profit organization “Second Harvest Okinawa,” which will distribute them to families in need. 

What should I donate? Non-perishable items such as Japanese rice, dry noodles, canned food, and condiments. Please ensure a donated item has more than one month until its expiration date. For more information, see the attached pdf or look for Food Drive posters around campus.

Why donate? Giving back is a great way to help others and strengthen communities. Even a small amount makes a difference!

Where can I donate? Collection boxes will be available at the following locations:

• Next to the ATM, Center Building, Level C
• Resource Center at the Village Center
• Entrance of the tunnel gallery
• Cafe Tancha, Center Building, Level C
