Partnership for a Nurturing Environment

On March 6, 2026, a partnership ceremony for child-rearing support between Maebashi City and Pal System Gunma was held at the Maebashi City Hall from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM. This collaboration, led by the city mayor Akira Ogawa and Pal System Gunma’s chairperson Makiko Ohira, aims to create a supportive environment for families to raise their children without worries.

The “Congratulations Box” Initiative

As part of the agreement, a special initiative called the “Congratulations Box” will be provided to newly registered child-rearing households. This gift package is designed to assist parents by including essential baby products such as original baby soap, wipes, sample packs for making baby food like dashi packets and tuna flakes, alongside a mini guidebook for baby food recipes. The initiative ensures that families receive these resources for free once they apply.

The “Congratulations Box” will be delivered directly to the homes of applicants, with Pal System taking responsibility for the delivery. This approach not only provides necessary items but also fosters a monitoring activity aimed at addressing the challenges faced by parents in childcare.

Strengthening Community Bonds

Under this collaborative agreement, the Maebashi City will also visit every household with infants to distribute information cards related to the “Congratulations Box.” This allows for a proactive approach in supporting families and engaging with them directly during home visits. Pal System Gunma's role extends beyond product delivery; they are dedicated to support and foster connections within the community, ensuring all families have the resources they need.

Comprehensive Parenting Resources

Pal System Gunma is committed to enriching the parenting experience by utilizing its established logistics and community delivery system. They not only provide original parenting products but also host various child-rearing related events and maintain their dedicated parenting website, “Childcare 123,” to share invaluable information with the community.

Going forward, Pal System Gunma aims to actively disseminate child-rearing information and collaborate with local administrations, organizations, and the community to strive for a place where every parent can raise their child securely and confidently.
