Yachiyo Town Hosts Parenting Support Agreement Ceremony

On November 27, 2025, a significant partnership for parenting support will be established at Yachiyo Town Hall. The ceremony, taking place at 10:30 AM, marks a collaboration between the Life Cooperative Palsystem Ibaraki Tochigi and Yachiyo Town, led by Mayor Isamu Nomura. This alliance is aimed at enhancing the local environment for raising children and ensuring that families have access to resources that promote healthy development for all children.

Delivery of Celebratory Boxes for New Parents

As part of this collaboration, families with newborns will receive a special gift, termed "Omedetou Bako" (Congratulations Box), filled with essential childcare items. During visits by maternal and child health promotion staff to new parents, the agreement stipulates the distribution of a guide card that accompanies the gift. The box includes original Palsystem products such as baby soap, wipes, and nutritious food essentials to assist in infant care.

The Omedetou Bako will be directly handed over to new parents by Palsystem, reinforcing their commitment as a local co-op dedicated to supporting families. Besides delivering products, they will also provide valuable information on parenting counseling and local support organizations, fostering a community-based approach to parenting.

Strengthening Community Support Through Collaboration

This marks the 17th cooperation agreement established by Palsystem since initiating partnerships with various municipalities last year, illustrating a growing community commitment to nurturing families. The emphasis on cooperation in parenting support signifies a continued effort to create an environment where residents can confidently raise their children.
