What is #OnigiriAction? Onigiri Action (https://usa.tablefor2.org/onigiri-action) is an annual social good campaign organized by TABLE FOR TWO USA (TFT). When photos of onigiri are posted on the campaign website or social media with #OnigiriAction, five school meals are donated to children in need around the world. TFT holds “Onigiri Action” to coincide with World Food Day with a goal to deliver 1 million meals to children every year. TFT started in Japan and features onigiri, which celebrates rice, one of Japan’s major agricultural products, and highlights the tradition of making onigiri for loved ones. Enjoy your onigiri, and join us to help in Onigiri Action! TABLE FOR TWO USA (https://usa.tablefor2.org/), is a non-profit organization, that addresses issues of hunger and health issues related to unhealthy eating. As a non-profit organization that started in Japan and is expanding globally, TFT has started innovative programs: “Onigiri Action”, “Wa-Shokuiku -Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!-“ and “#EdamameChamp” featuring Japanese food culture.
