A Unique Collaboration

This event is the first where they are teaming up with Palsystem Gunma, focusing on cutting down food waste while boosting local vitality.
Exciting Activities Await
Participants who contribute to the food drive will have the chance to enter a capsule lottery to win exclusive merchandise from both FLOWLISH GUNMA and Palsystem.
