Umenohana Group Joins Fukuoka's Baby Support Project 'Hajimetebako'

Umenohana Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture; President and COO: Takahiro Onizuka) will participate from April 2026 in the 'Hajimetebako' project, which celebrates babies under one year old born in Fukuoka Prefecture and their families, supporting child-rearing throughout the community. What is 'Hajimetebako'? 'Hajimetebako' is a gift box of child-rearing support goods created by TV Nishinippon and various companies, uniting their celebratory feelings. For this project, the Umenohana Group has also prepared a special gift to be included. The 'Hajimetebako' is delivered by hand by delivery staff to families with babies under one year old in Fukuoka Prefecture. After using the gifts inside, the box can be used as a time capsule to store precious memories from that time. When you open the box with your grown child 10 or 20 years later, wonderful memories of their babyhood will come back to life.

Umenohana Group's Thoughts The Umenohana Group decided to participate in this Hajimetebako project with deep affection and gratitude for Fukuoka, the place of its founding. When a baby is born, the family's daily life is filled with joy and bustle. Even amidst such busy days, we hope that mealtime will be a 'blooming moment of food' that deepens family bonds. With this wish, the Umenohana Group will continue to watch over the healthy growth of new life and the smiles of families through safe and secure 'food'.
