ZENSHO ACTION

Zensho 's initiatives through food

Warm meals provided to children in Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture, who were affected by the typhoon.

2019.11.18

For four days, from October 15th to 18th, Sukiya food truck was dispatched to a school lunch center in Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture, and provided 3,666 servings of beef bowls, prepared in the food truck, free of charge to a total of 20 kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools in Tateyama City.

Due to the damage caused by Typhoon No. 15, this school lunch center was unable to provide side dishes and other ingredients for school lunches. As a result, the kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools under its jurisdiction were forced to continue serving simplified meals consisting of rice, furikake (rice seasoning), milk, and dessert.

This support came about when Sukiya, upon learning of the situation, offered to provide school lunch assistance, driven by a desire to fulfill its mission as a "food infrastructure."

館山市学校給食センター長の菅田茂樹さんからは、「簡易給食では、栄養面の行き届いたものではない状況が続いているので、今回の温かい牛皿の提供を心から感謝しているし、子どもたちも非常に喜んでいると思う」と感謝の言葉をいただきました。

子どもたちは、出来立ての牛皿をおかずとして給食を楽しんでくれたようです。

また、すき家では台風19号によって被害を受けた、福島県いわき市、長野県長野市と須坂市、宮城県丸森町おいても、キッチンカーによる炊き出しを行い、約2,500食の牛丼を被災者の方々に無料で提供しました。

We pray for the swift recovery of the affected areas, and Zensho Group will continue to conduct business activities and support activities that are in line with the needs of those affected.
