*To those concerned*
Ifran Children’s Cafeteria distributes over 10,000 meals – Delivering smiles to children through social contribution activities

Taishi Shikamura (hereinafter referred to as Ifran) is pleased to announce that the total number of meals distributed to date has exceeded 10,000 at the “Children’s Cafeteria,” which we run as part of our social contribution activities. *

* ・About Ifran Children’s Restaurant*
In order to fulfill our social responsibility as a company, Ifran engages in various initiatives to contribute to local communities. One of these initiatives, Kodomo Shokudo, started in December 2021 as a support activity to distribute nutritious meals and boxed lunches to children once a week in Japan and in each country in the Philippines. Ifran Children’s Shokudo not only distributes meals, but also distributes presents to children at the Children’s Shokudo Venue during events such as Christmas.

This initiative has continued with mutual support from local residents, and we have now reached the milestone of 10,000 meals served.
Ifran will continue to aim to be a company that continues to grow together with the local community through social contribution activities.

* ・Comment from Miho Watanabe, director and director of Children’s Cafeteria* Tai-Fran Children’s Shokudo, which started in December 2021, will celebrate its 100th anniversary in July 2024. Now, the total number of meals and lunch boxes distributed to children has reached 10,000. I think it’s truly wonderful that we were able to provide meals to 10,000 children in impoverished areas overseas and bring smiles and nutritious meals to 10,000 children.

Caohagan Island, which I visited this time, is an island that is far away from civilization and is surrounded by nature, and even though they are not wealthy, the smiling faces of the children were very nice.
Ifran will continue to work hard with More Power UP in order to continue activities that help support children like these to make their dreams and hopes come true.
