A number of organizations, centered on the general corporation "Mirai Net Hirosaki," have started a lunch box delivery business, "Hirosaki Lunch Box Delivery Campaign," to support people with difficulty living.

"Mirai Net Hirosaki" conducts mutual assistance activities such as child poverty, creating a place to live, and learning support. From 2020, he started food bank activities and also supported the "Kodomo Shokudo" project.

The beginning of the business was that the "Kamidote Kitchen Car Project," which deals with the sale of bento boxes using kitchen cars, proposed the sale of bento boxes to people in need of living and those waiting at home. Shigeki Maruoka of the "Kamidote Kitchen Car Project" said, "Hirosaki City has become an area to which" priority measures such as spread prevention "are applied, so it has become possible to secure time for customers to stay away. I thought it would be useful to the world as much as possible. "

The staff of the "Kodomo Shokudo" announced that the lunch box would be delivered. Currently, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the activities of the "Kodomo Shokudo" are not being done as expected. In addition, there was a consultation from Hirosaki's soccer club "Blandieu Hirosaki FC". Daisuke Yoshida, a spokeswoman for Blancdieu Hirosaki FC, said, "As a local club team, I would like to put more effort into tackling regional issues because of the corona."

Bento is sold for 200 yen. The shortfall was covered by a red feather community chest subsidy, and ingredients were donated by Hirosaki organizations such as the Aomori ZERO Lions Club and "30 no Kai". Lunch boxes will be delivered on February 11th, 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th for 5 days. We are planning 3000 meals, and the application has already been accepted.

Aoi Kauchi, a director of "Mirai Net Hirosaki," said, "It's an initiative that has taken shape in all Hirosaki. Corona is testing regional power." "We sometimes get inquiries about how we implemented it for reference, but we just bridged it. If the movement of mutual assistance spreads in various places," he said.

It was his first attempt to deliver a bento box, so there were many troubles such as the delivery staff getting lost. Mr. Kauchi said, "Sometimes even if I ring the doorbell, it doesn't come out. In many cases, there were many cases where the parents were absent and only the children were at home. I want to go. "
