Project details

What we need
  • Specific copy from one document (up to 1000 words) translated from one language to one other of the Organization's choice
  • Note: If you need more than 1000 words translated or copy translated into more than one language, please post additional versions of this project
Additional details

We have a one-page flyer that we would like translated from English to JAPANESE. The flyer is in a Word document and we would like the translator to keep the format of the flyer (layout, font, etc.).

What we have in place
  • We currently have the formatted flyer in English, which should make it easy for you to get started.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,098 , allowing us to provide 21,294 meals to our community.

Our food bank serves a multi-lingual community. This flyer will help spread the word about our network of free groceries and meals that are available to anyone in need.

Our mission

Food Gatherers exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in our community by: reducing food waste through the rescue and distribution of perishable and nonperishable food; coordinating with other hunger relief providers; educating the public about hunger; and developing new food resources.

What we do

Food Gatherers is the food bank and food rescue program serving our neighbors in Washtenaw County struggling with hunger. In FY2022 we distributed 7.3 million pounds of food to more than 170 partner organizations and programs serving hungry children, adults, families, seniors, and veterans.

Food Gatherers aims to ensure that all food-insecure people in our community have access to nutritious food. We provide training, support, and food to more than 170 community nonprofit partners who operate food pantries, meal programs, or other services in our community, and we manage our own direct service hunger relief programs. These programs include: Healthy School Pantry Program, delivering monthly fresh produce boxes to children and families at school sites; Summer Food Service Program, providing summer meals to children who are eligible for free or reduced-fee lunch during the regular school year; and the Community Kitchen, serving free hot meals to the public 364 days per year.

Testimonials

Yuka was very professional. In our interview, she explained the different nuances of the Japanese language and helped us decide the best option for translating our document. She completed the project on time and was a pleasure to work with.
