Nowami Consultation Center has set up a warehouse next to its office in Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture, dedicated to storing supplies for a food bank that feeds the homeless, struggling families and foreign residents in need.
The center, a support group to assist the poor, wants to get more companies to donate food by improving the storage facility and distributing food without waste.
The food bank collects the supplies ¡ª often nonstandard products or food close to their sell-by dates ¡ª from companies and distributes them to social welfare facilities and low-income households for free.
