Japan Village in partnership with JAANY (http://www.jaany.org/) and other NYC Japanese American Associations started the initiative to donate bentos to senior citizens and those living in need.  

Our generous friends, Itoen (https://itoen.com/) and Daiei Trading (https://daiei-trading.com/), have been contributing tea and rice crackers.

With the incredible support of the donations and amazing volunteers within the Japanese American community, we have been able to distribute bentos on a weekly basis in the triborough area. We are grateful for all of the support we have received and hope to continue this initiative.

We are currently self-funded and would appreciate any donation amount to keep this going.
100% of your contributions will go directly to Project Bento!

Project Bento is launched by the Japanese American Association in partnership with NYC Japanese American organizations including - The Consulate General of Japan in New York, New York Day of Remembrance, Japanese American Citizens League NY Chapter, New York Japanese-American Lions Club, Japanese Americans/Japanese in America, Tsuru For Solidarity, the US-Japan Council NY Region and concerned individuals.
