Market City Shopping Center is helping The Salvation Army collect donations to help in the Japan relief efforts.  Donation boxes will be placed at all participating stores in Market City. All donations will be given to The Salvation Army to help its three relief teams that are now providing care and comfort to the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan.

Market City will also donate an additional $1,000 to the total funds collected from the donation drive. Market City is a family-owned business and has been serving the community since 1948. It strongly supports many worthwhile organizations in Hawaii.  Market City believes in the spirit of aloha and asks the public’s generous support of the Japan relief effort with the Salvation Army.
