The Riders, Rangers and Rambles Relief Effort (the other Super Hero Time) spearheaded by dedicated retailer CS Toys International and supported by tokusatsu fans across the globe. All donations from fans will be Hand-Delivered to National Relief Aid in Japan by the head of CS Toys. Even the smallest contribution can make a world of difference to those suffering in these difficult times.
If you prefer to make donations directly to specific aid groups, CNN has posted a list of organizations accepting contributions for assistance to Japan.

Though only a few thousand people so far have been counted as missing or dead, hundreds of thousands more in the worst hit areas are currently living in shelters after losing everything to the earthquake and resultant tidal wave. These people will be counting on humanitarian aid for the immediate future. Your contributions will help see to these people being housed and fed while the slow task of recovery takes place.
