For those who want to participate in local volunteer activities

When the city was affected by heavy rains in July 2018, many volunteers from all over the country gathered in Uwajima City and provided volunteer support in various ways. From that experience, we realized that in order to aim for a disaster-resistant and community-friendly society, it is very important to have a point of contact between people who need support and people who want to provide support, so we decided to volunteer. It was decided that a bank would be established.

Through our volunteer bank, our center will continue to expand ties with the community and aim to create a more vibrant town.
