I'll be in Japan in December and if they're still looking for help, I'd be glad to help out in any way.

Food: Basically yes but now it is easy to buy them in most of the areas.
Shelter: It depends on the site the volunteer is dispatched. Some local governments near the disaster-affected area have built something like volunteer support center which provides access to foods, shelters and bath for volunteers. But there are still areas where the volunteer has to bring everything himself.

And thanks for your thoughts. There are still a lot of challenges ahead but just reading comments like yours encourages us a lot
