Seikatsu General Incorporated Association, Ehime Prefecture |
Ehime Prefecture Seikatsu was launched in April 2023.
We named it Seikatsu so that we can always have the spirit of “mutual respect” and “always thank you” and carry out “sunny activities”.
Three years have passed since the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and with the spread of COVID-19, lifestyles have become established, and efforts to balance infection prevention and socioeconomic activities have begun to be explored.
In 2021, economic support measures such as comprehensive support funds and self-reliance support funds, whose application deadlines and periods have been extended, have ended, and the new coronavirus infectious disease has already threatened the livelihood base such as suspension of business, closure of business, and decrease in income. The expansion of the population has a great impact on people's lives. In particular, it is expected that people in socially vulnerable positions will be seriously affected.
Ehime Prefecture Seikatsu is still a small organization, but based on developing support activities for those who need it through food, we are also promoting initiatives such as SDGs for regional safety and global environment maintenance in preparation for disasters. I want to
Even if the spread of infection subsides and socio-economic activities become active, we believe that it is a post-corona social issue not to leave these people in poverty or in an unstable situation. We will focus our efforts on providing support to those affected, and we will work to ensure that as many people as possible receive support, while deepening cooperation with related organizations and providing meticulous support. Ehime Prefecture Seikatsu aims to contribute to society, including ensuring the safety and health maintenance of residents, and improving the welfare of residents.
Below are some messages of gratitude from people who received a lot of support, addressed to companies and organizations.

Furthermore, Ehime Prefecture Harukatsu will strive to spread a food safety net throughout Ehime Prefecture by effectively utilizing discarded food by reducing food loss.
In addition to providing food to corporate beneficiaries, we anticipate an increase in direct food assistance to needy private households. In order to respond to this, we will step up our appeals to manufacturers, retailers, and companies, as well as to individuals, including through food drives, so that they can provide us with room-temperature products that can be used as staple foods or side dishes. It is also important to secure subsidies and donations in order to develop this business, and we will apply for various subsidies and call for donations widely.
If you don't neglect daily care, vegetables will grow little by little until the time for harvest arrives. First of all, together we will experience successes that have been far away from our daily lives. Would you like to take on the challenge with us, one step at a time?
We bring together leftover food from companies and households, such as food that is no longer available in the market, etc., even though there are no quality problems, and provide it to the needy. Through this activity, we will be able to eliminate wasted food and provide necessary food to those who need it, and it will also be an activity to protect the environment for companies and others. We believe that this activity will expand the circle of support, and that the involvement of various people will spread the understanding of those in need.
*Corporate activities cannot be continued without the cooperation and participation of individuals, groups, and companies.
We appreciate your cooperation and support.
We would also appreciate it if you could spread the word on SNS etc. so that as many people as possible would know about this activity.
