Giving back - Donations

Here at JDM Global Warehouse we believe in giving back to the country and people who have already given us so much. Our love of JDM products and lifestyle would not even exist were not for Japan and the people who have worked to make it the place it is today.

As you may already know, in 2011 Japan was hit by a massive 9.1 magnitude earthquake and the following tsunami devastated large areas of mainland Japan killing thousands of people and displacing countless more. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. Even today, thousands of families are unable to return to their homes or find work due to the continued effects of the disaster. In addition, Japan continues to face further natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons on a regular basis. JDM Global Warehouse has decided to follow the lead of various governments from around the world who donated to the Japan Red Cross Society (JRCS) immediately following the 2011 disaster. Every month we donate a portion of our profits to the JRCS who are vital in providing assistance to the community in the aftermath of such disasters. By making a purchase through our site you will also be giving a helping hand to those in need.

From the Japan Red Cross Society website:

Japan is an earthquake-prone country that is also often affected by other natural disasters such as storms and floods and a rapid, effective disaster response in times of emergency is crucial. Providing such a response is an important mission of the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS). In times of emergency, the JRCS carries out the activities such as medical relief, stockpiling and distribution of supplies, provision of blood products, collection of donations, volunteer activities and psychological care to support disaster victims.
