A food pantry in Soka, Saitama

The first Food Pantry of 2024 was held. Due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake, we received earthquake-related comments from our users. One of them said, “I have always been grateful for the long-life ready meals, but the earthquake on New Year’s Day took me by surprise and made me feel the need for emergency food very much. So I will keep the emergency rice pilaf I received this time until just before the expiration date.
