| Description |
Please join us this Thursday, April 21st at DIVA restaurant (341 West Broadway, NYC) for ’HUVs 4 JAPAN,’ a charity event co-hosted by The HUV Project & The RELIEF Foundation, to bring relief to the victims of the recent disasters in Japan.
On March 11th the world’s 5th largest earthquake since the 1900’s struck Japan. Within minutes, a massive tsunami followed the earthquake, tearing through the country's coastline and leaving devastation in its wake. As news and video showed the magnitude of the disaster, the RELIEF Foundation became fully mobilized and started gathering supplies and donations. On April 25th the first group of RELIEF volunteers will head to the coastal towns of Japan to deliver these supplies to those who need them most. Accompanying the RELIEF team will be a Homeless Utility Vehicle (HUV), a temporary personal shelter constructed as a mobile vehicle to be used by the homeless. The HUV will be introduced to the disaster zone in Japan and given to a family whose home was destroyed. The HUV Project has prior disaster-relief experience, having deployed HUV project members to Port au Prince, Haiti earlier this year to assemble and distribute HUVs to the victims displaced by the 2010 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
As non-profit organizations, our ability to provide to those in need of RELIEF and temporary shelter is dependent on the generosity of donors like you. Each and every donation is important to us and will help fund current and future projects around the globe. A minimum donation of $30 will be collected at the door to the event. 100% of ticket sales and donations will benefit the RELIEF Foundation and The HUV Project in their joint effort to bring assistance to Japan.
