Poste date: Tuesday, November 14, 2023

Plaza Homes Ltd. and All Japan Relocation Inc. have launched a food bank project (Food Bank Azabu) as part of our CSR projects.

A food collection center for the needy, will be set up on the first floor of our company (1-9-12 Azabudai, Minato-ku, Tokyo) to accept surplus food from neighborhood residents and the foreign community. We deliver the food to support groups for the needy and refugee assistance organizations.

If you have excess food that you cannot eat at home, are considering an SDGs project within your company, or are considering replacing your disaster stockpile, please contact us.
