Food Support in May - Delivered Food to Minato-ku Impoverished Families, Refugee Support Organizations
In May, we delivered food to families in need, homeless support organizations, refugee support organizations, and foreigner support organizations in Minato City. This month, we gathered a large amount of food thanks to disaster stockpile supplies from government agencies, donations from individuals, and contributions from employees.
48 Families in Need in Minato City
On May 17, we delivered food to 48 households in Minato City through the Takanawa Food Pantry. Recently, there has been an increase in support requests from elderly households struggling with only their pensions, indicating that rising prices are affecting their household budgets. In addition to retort foods and snacks, we distributed alpha rice and bread from disaster stockpiles to make up for the shortage of rice.
Homeless Support Organizations
