[Denny’s] Donation of Ingredients No Longer Used with a Revision to the Menu to Welfare Facilities through Second Harvest Japan

Seven & i Food Systems (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) donated some ingredients no longer used with revising the menu at Denny’s through Second Harvest Japan* on April 6 (Thu).
This donation activity is a mechanism in which K.R.S. Corporation , which handles the distribution of ingredients for Denny’s, collects unused ingredients at Denny’s and then delivers them to eight children’s homes and welfare facilities via STRAIGHT Co.,Ltd . We have been carrying out this activity every year since 2019. Moreover, not unused ingredients stored at distribution centers, but we donate unopened frozen ingredients which have been delivered to Denny’s restaurants. Thanks to the cooperation of each company, we have expanded the range of ways to effectively use ingredients which were previously limited.
One of our donation recipients said, “We are very grateful for the ingredients from Denny’s as we are unable to eat out easily.” We donated a total of 21 items weighing approximately 576 kg this time.
We will continue to engage in food donation activities and take part in activities to help society in the future.

* Second Harvest Japan was established in 2002 as Japan’s first food bank.
Second Harvest Japan receives food which, despite still being fully edible, cannot be used for various reasons from food manufacturers, farmers and individuals. It then provides that food to those who require food assistance such as individuals, children in children’s homes, welfare facilities and organizations which distribute donated food.
