4. Donate Halal Food through Amazon Wish List

APFS provides food support to its members with the cooperation of food banks, etc., but due to religious or food culture reasons, the food donated may not be enough. Therefore, we have started collecting donations of halal food etc. through an Amazon wish list.

Add the items you want to donate to your cart and select "NPO APFS's" as the pick-up location at the register. Donations from the wish list can be made anonymously and your address will not be revealed.
(If you enter your name as the sender, APFS will be able to recognize it.)

In particular, members on provisional release are not allowed to work and find it extremely difficult to cover their daily food expenses. Eating familiar foods also helps them to feel positive and allows them to continue with their long-term efforts to obtain a residence permit.

2) Communication costs for contacting the person seeking advice (mail, telephone, etc.)

In order to continue providing consultation services, we need to employ full-time staff and maintain an office, so your donations are also used for administrative costs.
