It seems to be an event for the “food drive” initiative promoted by the prefecture and the city!
What is a Food Drive?
It is an activity where food left over at home is donated, instead of being thrown away, to welfare organizations through supermarkets.
This campaign is being held by Hyogo Prefecture as a “Food Drive Storefront Campaign” at three supermarkets in the prefecture to help promote the initiative!
It also seems that collections are accepted year-round outside of the campaign, and in addition to MaxValu, places like Coop and Aeon also accept donations!

Monsoon is a Yoshimoto comedian and is active as Hyogo Prefecture’s “local resident comedian” in Yoshimoto Kogyo’s “47 Prefectures Local Resident Comedians” project, which helps revitalize communities through the power of laughter〜!

Finally
I’d heard the term “food drive” before, but I didn’t really know the details…🙏
Hopefully this campaign helps spread the word!
If you have unopened canned goods, dried noodles, or other eligible foods left over, please bring them to one of the participating supermarkets〜🙋
Chiha-san, thank you for the information!!
