Since the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake in the Tohoku area, ABC Japan organized support actions. For three years after the earthquake disaster, ABC Japan visited the Tohoku region 9 times. 

In 2015 during the Kanto-Tohoku heavy rainfalls, ABC Japan gathered and delivered supplies to the city of Mizukaido. In 2016, ABC Japan delivered supplies and support to rebuild the infrastructure in Kumamoto after the Kumamoto Earthquake of 2016. 

The emergency food collection was organized through social media and Facebook, and it was possible to gather a lot of support from the community. The arduous work of organizing and preparing the supplies was only possible because ABC Japan gathered assistance from the students, regular volunteers and the local community.

Because some of the students are from various countries, ABC Japan also organized support for disasters abroad, through getting in touch with their Embassies and gathering support from some companies to deliver collected supplies to the disaster areas.
