JCCCNC Past Japan Relief Efforts
In 1995, the JCCCNC raised over $600,000 towards citizen relief efforts for the Great Hanshin Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake that killed over 6,000 people and left over 300,000 people homeless.
Funds raised helped organize volunteer efforts to get food and water directly to the victims, citizen search efforts, clothing for the homeless, essential supplies for women, seniors and children and helped to feed and rebuild orphanages in Kobe. The JCCCNC continues to visit and donate to the orphanage every year since 1995.
