With the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the income of part-time workers has decreased, and in order to support university students who are in financial distress, activities such as free delivery of vegetables and other ingredients are being carried out in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The support is provided by a group of local residents and students in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

On the 16th, members of the group handed vegetables such as spinach and potatoes as well as somen to Akane Kono (19), a sophomore in college.

Ms. Komono was working part-time at a clothing store to cover her living expenses, but she could not work part-time for about a month due to the spread of the new coronavirus. Thank you. "

According to the group, students repeatedly said that part-time job income decreased and living was difficult, so they started activities last month and have provided about 40 people with food ingredients handed over from local farmers so far. ..

Kisaragi Iwasaki (20), a third-year university student who is a member of the group, said, “Since I was the one who also supported me, I hope to help someone this time and participate in the activity. I want to continue my activities as long as there are people there. "
