While the number of university students with financial anxiety increased due to part-time leave and shortening of business hours, JA of Fukushima City provided rice to Fukushima University students free of charge.
This initiative was realized by Fukushima University, who heard the student's voice that “the part-time job income is decreasing”, consulted with “JA Fukushima Mirai”.
When the university recruited applicants this month, about 550 people applied.
On the 24th, at the university dormitory, Mr. Takashi Sugano, President of “JA Fukushima Mirai,” presented about 200 rice mills of 2 kilograms to each dormitory student representative.

Mr. Yu Senda, the dormitory director of the Fukushima University student dormitory, said, "I will be able to help me with food while my income is decreasing and I need to cut food costs."
