“Meal Delivery Service for Children” Finally Spread to All 47 Prefectures
An eccentric system involving visiting the homes of children with food. The “meal delivery service for children” was born in 2017 in Bunkyo City, Tokyo.?
(From Bengo4.com News)
The more trouble people are in, the harder it is for them to ask for help. Then why don’t we go and deliver delicious rice, tasty snacks, and daily necessities to theｍ?
Soon we heard from people from various places that they would like to try this in their local area, too. In the town of Mimata, Miyazaki Prefecture, a meal delivery service started under the cute name of “Mimatan Here You Are Meal Delivery Service.”
I realized that instead of trying to spread this all by ourselves, we can offer our knowledge free of charge to those who are interested, and let more and more local communities do this.?
With this in mind, the “General Incorporated Association Meal Delivery Service for Children Support Team” was established in 2018 to spread “meal delivery service for children.” We have been steadily building the environment by holding nationwide seminars inviting people to start meal delivery services for children and summits where people who launched such services can gather.??
After seven years of hard work, “meal delivery services for children” organizations have been established in all 47 prefectures of Japan and are now active. I am really touched by this.
This is all thanks to the individuals who gave support through monetary donations and hometown tax donations as well as the companies and organizations that supported us with food donations. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much!?
【“Meal Delivery Services for Children” in the Future】
We are planning to further expand such meal delivery services for children and improve the quality of various social programs at the same time.
“You have already conquered all 47 prefectures in Japan and you still want to expand it further?”?
To those of you who thought that. You have a good point.

The truth is, the country as a whole is rather large, so you can imagine that even if there was only one organization in Hokkaido, for example, it would not be enough to sufficiently distribute food. Multiple organizations need to be established in one prefecture to cover the entire area. We have not reached such conditions yet.???
If we are going to set high goals, I want to aim for a system where meal delivery services for children can knock on the doors of children’s homes in every corner of the country.?
We would also like to improve our social work by using digital technology to connect the families we met through the meal delivery service for children program with government services and local support groups.??
【Please Help Us Achieve This Through Hometown Tax Donations】
There is a way you can support the spread and deepening of such “meal delivery services for children.”
Yes, I am talking about hometown tax donations.
Hometown tax donation is a system allowing you to make a donation with the money that you were going to pay residence tax with anyway. You lose (almost) nothing.?
“But I can’t really agree with the hometown tax donation system because it has become a frenzied competition of return gifts.”
I am sure that some of you feel that way.?
Please be assured that donations for meal delivery services for children do not come with return gifts.?
All the donations, except for the platform charges, will be used for our activities.?
The deadline for hometown tax donations is the end of the year. Please do not forget and make a donation to “meal delivery services for children.”
We would like to thank you for the spread of meal delivery services for children to all 47 prefectures of Japan, and we would also like to ask for your support!
