●Increase in Children Losing Weight During Long Vacations

Due to the ongoing rise in prices and soaring rice costs, more households are reducing their daily meals to save on food expenses.

Amidst this, did you know that some children lose weight during long breaks when school lunches are not provided?

As part of the "Children's Support Project," we are sending packages of food and snacks to child-rearing households within Hokkaido.

●What is the Children's Support Project?

This project began in 2020, and we send packages filled with food to child-rearing households in Hokkaido during long school breaks. We are truly grateful to all our supporters who make it possible to continue such projects.

2026 Summer Break Children's Support Project

●Intensified Period for Donations and Contributions

We kindly ask for your support and cooperation to continue projects like this in the future.

Our goal for this summer break is to send packages to 400 child-rearing households in Hokkaido.

To support the growth of children together, we are accepting donations and contributions from July 1 (Wed) to August 10 (Mon).

Last year, during a similar period, we received 8.9 tons of donated food and 847,757 yen in monetary donations.

For companies and organizations that donate food, and for everyone who makes monetary donations, we will include your name in a letter inside the package and on our organization's website (only for those who wish to be listed) ♪

We appreciate your support and cooperation.
