ABC pledges annual support to Shizuoka City children’s cafeterias

ABC plans to give ¥100,000 a year to the Shizuoka City Children’s Cafeteria Network, known as Chirufore.
Children’s cafeterias provide meals, and the nonprofit said rising food costs make the support welcome.
The money will help pay for food and other costs, while ABC says it hopes the cafeterias can also build connections among people.
