Second Harvest Japan Renews 'Kids Café' to Support Children's Growth Through Food

Second Harvest Japan (2HJ), Japan's first certified NPO food bank (headquartered in Taito-ku, Tokyo), will relocate its 'Kids Café' (https://kidscafe.2hj.org/) to Rice Man Lab, 2HJ's communication space, and reopen it on Friday, April 3, 2026.

Until now, 2HJ has continued its efforts to deliver food to people in need of food support under the slogan 'Food for all.' In particular, as an initiative for children in need of food support, we have operated 'Kids Café' in collaboration with Nu Skin Japan Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo).

This time, the café has been positioned as 'a place to provide various experiences to children through food,' and its base has been moved to Rice Man Lab and reopened. To support the healthy growth of children who will lead the future, we aim to provide a wider variety of experiential opportunities in cooperation with various stakeholders who have worked together on food support.

In addition, Rice Man Lab will also hold various events such as seminars, training sessions, and joint CSR activities with the aim of strengthening relationships with stakeholders essential for building a food safety net and creating new collaborations.

Moving forward, 2HJ will further promote collaboration with various stakeholders, including public and private sectors, to build a food safety net where everyone can safely receive sufficient nutritious food when needed, regardless of normal times or emergencies.
