On the morning of the 16th, staff members found 90 kg of rice in front of the Hino Town Hall in Shiga Prefecture.
This is the 44th consecutive year that rice has been anonymously delivered to the town hall, and the town has decided to distribute it as "good faith rice" to the townspeople who need it.
According to Hino Town, before 8 am on the 16th, an employee who came to work found three 30 kg rice bags placed in front of the front door.
"Omi rice" is printed on the 90 kg rice bag, and it is displayed in the lobby of the town hall as "good faith rice" in the town.
Every year at the Hino Town Hall, rice is delivered anonymously at this time of the end of the year, and since it is the 44th year, there used to be a paper saying "Please use it for welfare". There was, but in the last few years, no message has been added.
After exhibiting rice for about a week in the town, we will distribute it to people in need through the Council of Social Welfare after the beginning of the year.
Kiyoshi Ikeuchi, chief of the Hino Town Health and Welfare Division, said, "I am grateful that you have delivered it for many years. This is because of the new coronavirus, and I think it was an opportunity to reaffirm the connection between people through rice." I was talking.
