About Food Drive Reinforcement Month:

A food drive is an initiative where individuals bring surplus food from their homes or workplaces to be delivered to families in need of food.

During this period, we are especially collecting the following food items.

Food items we particularly request:

Representative's Comment:

Surveys have received comments such as "I'm hungry today and can't sleep." Food drives are initiatives that deliver food and peace of mind to such children in the community. The thoughts of each individual gather as food, supporting the dining tables of families in need and the smiles of children. Actions that care for others become a great force supporting the community.
