Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) has partnered with Americares to funnel relief supplies to earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan by calling on its members to donate either cash or in-country manufacturing capacity.


At this time, the Japanese government is not requesting external product and medical support. However, if you have local manufacturing facilities or affiliates in Japan and are interested in donating products in-country, AmeriCares can explore possibilities for matching what you have available with the current product needs, which include blankets,
hygiene products and heating pads.

 

To donate these urgently needed products from locations within Japan or to make a financial donation to the relief effort, contact Henna Viinikka at AmeriCares at 203.658.9526 or hviinikka@americares.org.

Due to the amazing response from the nation, AmeriCares is having trouble replying to everyone in a timely manner, but they will respond. OIA will continue to publish updated needs throughout the relief effort.
