This October, the Japan-America Society of Houston (JASH) will support TABLE FOR TWO's Onigiri Action 2020 campaign.

Onigiri Action is an annual social good campaign in autumn connecting the simple act of taking a photo with helping to feed school children in need. Every time someone takes a photo of a Japanese rice ball and posts with #OnigiriAction, five school meals are donated to children in need around the world.

World Food Day on October 16 was established by the United Nations as a day for everyone to think about food problems in the world. To celebrate World Food Day, TABLE FOR TWO (TFT) holds Onigiri Action with a goal to deliver 1 million meals to children in need every year. TFT first started in Japan and featuring Onigiri celebrates rice, one of the major Japanese agricultural products, and showcases the Japanese tradition of making onigiri for loved ones.
