Comparing two websites...


Hi : 9


I tried to compare two websites, Food for All with Second Harvest Japan.


What do they have in common?
Both websites was established for charity called Food Bank

How do their approaches differ?
   Food for All : Food for All started as a small operation aimed at providing home grocery delivery for those not enough to make it to other local organization for assistance. 

   Second Harvest Japan : Second Harvest Japan is the only nationwide food bank in Japan. They receive donates from manufactures, retailers, farmers and individuals and them distribute them to those in need.

What are their main activities?
   Food for All : Each week they accept referrals from social workers who have been contacted by individuals, and in some cases, they receive calls directly from individuals in need. 

   Second Harvest Japan : They are four programs. 1 Harvest Kitchen, 2 Harvest Pantry, 3 Food Banking, and 4 Advocacy and Development.

How do they deal with the problem of food waste?
    Food for All : The majority of the food is obtained from the Capitol Area Food Bank, although they also receive donations from area supermarkets and farms,so it is very good to reduce the waste of food.

   Second Harvest Japan : By donating stocks of food manufactures cannot sell to Second Harvest Japan, they save money on disposal costs, increase employee morale, and make a positive impact in the community.

How would you be able to help for these organization?
   I can donate money, food, and time. And also, we can participate in lectures and events hosted by these organization,

Which group seems to be the most active?
   I think Second Harvest Japan is better because it is easy for us, Japanese, to support the organization and 2HJ cooperates with food manufacturers and other companies and use food to create new partnerships between corporations and the community in order to deliver enough food to those who lack food security.
