Tokyo Homeless Patrols I Snowflake Fundraiser
Hi Snowflakes! Leading up the new year, I'm fundraising for Tokyo Spring Homeless Patrol, to help support the critical work in community to feed the homeless men and women in Tokyo. Needless to say we could really use your help!
Please contribute with what you can - every bit helps! But, for reference:
- ¥1,000 covers 3 portions of canned food.
- ¥2,000 could fund 36 AAA batteries for the small radios that most homeless people use to stay up to date with the world.
- ¥3,000 would enable us to buy 10 pairs of warm socks to help protect against the cold.
- ¥5,000 could be used on 2 heating pads and a new sleeping bag for a person in need.
- ¥10,000 covers 48 Energy bars and 200 of their favourite biscuits.
90% of the food that is handed out during the patrols comes from the hearts and kitchens of the volunteers, but your donations would help us reach many more people in need and provide them with additional means to make their lives easier and better.
Descriptions in English / Japanese Below:
Tokyo Spring Homeless Patrol is a group of friends who have been
volunteering with the homeless since October 2016.We conduct weekly
patrols in Shinjuku, Ueno and one stretch of the Tama river. We
distribute food (cans of fish, rice balls, bento, sandwiches, uncooked
rice, bananas, sweets), batteries for portable radios and - upon
request - sleeping bags, underwear, mosquito coils in summer and
heating pads in winter, gas cassettes and more…to about 600 homeless a
month. Our friends from YSHP Yokohama Spring Homeless Patrol patrol
twice a month and serve about 250 people in Yokohama. Our activities
have been featured in the Asahi Weekly (in Japanese):
