While school closures continued due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, farmers in Tokyo provided vegetables grown for school lunches, and restaurants made lunch boxes that were distributed to local children free of charge.

Mr. Hideyuki Ohara (42), a farmer, called for this initiative.
Mr. Ohara cultivated Komatsuna for lunch, but because the school was closed due to the spread of the new coronavirus, it could not be shipped.

For this reason, when a spot sale event was held, many local people visited and bought Komatsuna, so Mr. Ohara asked the restaurant to cooperate in giving back lunch and giving free lunch to children who are absent from school. I decided to.

The second year junior high school student who received it said, "I was excited to eat Komatsuna at home because there were a lot of Komatsuna dishes at school lunch."

Mr. Ohara said, “I'm very happy that the vegetables raised for school lunch will be eaten by the children when they are delicious. As the infection continues to spread, I think it would be great if local people could help each other. ".

In the future, Mr. Ohara will increase the number of people who support it and will collect funds to distribute lunch to more children for free.
