Donate Halal Food through Amazon Wish List<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">APFS provides food support to its members with the cooperation of food banks and other organizations, but sometimes the donated food is insufficient due to religious or cultural reasons. Therefore, we have started accepting donations of halal food and other items through our Amazon Wish List.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the items you want to donate to your cart and select &quot;NPO APFS&#039;s&quot; as the pick-up location at the register. Donations from the wish list can be made anonymously and your address will not be revealed.<br>(If you enter your name as the sender, APFS will be able to recognize it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In particular, members on provisional release are not permitted to work, making it extremely difficult for them to afford daily expenses like food. Furthermore, eating familiar foods can help them maintain a positive outlook and enable them to continue their long-term efforts to obtain residence status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sm-lightest-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">APFS wish list<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/hz\/wishlist\/ls\/27JKTUVIBZTCQ\/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"sme-text-color has-vivid-purple-color\">https:\/\/giveone.net\/supporter\/project_display.html?project_id=20300<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Donations to this charity project are eligible for tax benefits such as donation deductions.
