Lotte and Save the Children's Food Support Initiative

Lotte Co., Ltd., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has pledged its support for the 2026 Children's Food Support Box, a initiative organized by Save the Children Japan. This collaboration emphasizes providing critical assistance during the summer break by donating substantial food supplies to struggling families. For the upcoming summer season, Lotte will deliver 5,120 units of its ACUO orange-flavored candies and 5,040 bags of Pokémon apple-flavored candies, totaling 504 cases.

The Children’s Food Support Box aims to aid households facing economic hardships, particularly those exempt from income tax, by distributing boxes filled with essential food items and everyday goods twice a year—once during summer and again in winter. In 2026, around 10,000 households across the country will benefit from these provisions. Lotte has been actively participating in this initiative since the winter of 2021, marking this year as their 10th contribution.

About Save the Children Japan

Save the Children is a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in around 100 countries, including Japan. Established in 1919 in the UK, the organization has been on a mission for over a century to advocate for a world where every child has the right to survive, thrive, and reach their full potential, free from harm and with opportunities to participate in their communities. Their efforts encompass a wide range of activities aimed at ensuring children's rights are fulfilled globally.

Engaging with local communities and seeking partnerships with businesses like Lotte allows Save the Children to amplify their impact. The mutual cooperation between the private and non-profit sectors enhances the reach of their crucial support services to families in financial distress, especially during critical times like school vacations.

The commitment from Lotte reinforces the importance of corporate social responsibility, demonstrating how businesses can play vital roles in humanitarian initiatives. By providing snacks—often a luxury for those in need—Lotte not only supports children’s nutritional needs but also brings joy during a season when many families are struggling financially.

This year's contribution, just like the past offerings, is set to bring smiles and relief to many children during the summer vacation, ensuring they have access to treats that many take for granted. With corporate partners like Lotte stepping up, initiatives like the Children’s Food Support Box can continue making a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families.
