At Chiba University of Commerce, students will form a "Food Bank Student Team" and will have a regular "Food Pantry" from June 2022, 6, where people who need food support can receive it when they need it. hold.
At Chiba University of Commerce, there are "Food Pantry (a place where people who need food support can receive it when they need it)" and "Food Drive" (It is necessary to bring surplus food at home to school or work). The "Food Bank Student Team" was established in December 2021 in collaboration with the Ichikawa City Council of Social Welfare for the purpose of holding "Activities to Deliver to People".The first meeting was held on the 12rd of the same month.
The prolonged Korona-ka not only affects the financial situation of students, such as a decrease in part-time job shifts, but also reduces "connections with people" in daily life.Under such circumstances, the "Food Bank Student Team" focuses on the fact that the food pantry is a place where people can connect and "support" activities.I started to work on planning and management.In collaboration with the Ichikawa City Council of Social Welfare, which also works on food banks, we have received the provision of inventory products from convenience stores, sanitary products donated by individuals, and rice.
This time, the food bank student team felt the need for further student support in Korona-ka, and started a regular monthly food pantry from June 6 (Monday) to provide food and daily necessities to current students free of charge. I decided to implement it.In addition, for rice that was frequently requested in the post-questionnaire, we made a reservation in advance using LINE to ensure that it is delivered to the students who need it.
In the future, we are planning to carry out food drives on campus and create relationships that support each other inside and outside the university, including the purpose of ensuring stable distribution and disseminating the significance of food bank activities.
