FC Tokyo, in collaboration with Chofu City and the Long Spoon Association, is cooperating and promoting the Food Ribbon Project, which supports securing meals for children in the community. Under our social statement, "Goals that connect to the future of our lives," we aim to create a city "wrapped in warmer support," working together to provide opportunities for local children to eat with peace of mind and striving to realize a society where no one is left behind.

Going forward, based on our collaboration with Chofu City and the Long Spoon Association, we will deepen cooperation with restaurant networks, local communities, and supporters, aiming to establish a model suitable as the first of its kind in Tokyo and achieve results that can be expanded to other municipalities and regions.

□ What is the Food Ribbon Project

Towards a society where everyone can naturally and safely have "today’s meal"

The Food Ribbon Project is an initiative to support children’s "today’s meal" within the community. Through ribbons placed in restaurants, children can receive meals free of charge.


1. Mechanism
① Customers purchase a ribbon (300 yen, tax included)
Customers prepay 300 yen (tax included) for a ribbon at the restaurant and display it inside the store.

② Children use the ribbon to receive a meal
Children take one of the displayed ribbons and can eat one free meal at that store._{*The eligible age and usage time vary depending on the store.}

③Various types of stores
Cafes, set meal restaurants, izakayas, convenience stores, school cafeterias, hotels, kitchen cars, etc.

2. Features
・Purchasing ribbons is optional, and some stores have boards inside where you can write messages.
・The ribbons are made by people at welfare workshops, contributing to the creation of employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.
・If an accompanying adult has a meal, they can enjoy it together by paying 300 yen.
