The drugstore chain has set up donation boxes at the registers of all 350 stores that it operates in Kyushu and throughout Japan. On the 21st of February, a donation of approximately 9.08 million yen was presented to the Japan Guide Dog Association, which was gathered from the donation boxes and a portion of the vending machine sales over the past year. The initiative began in 2016, with the aim of helping to raise guide dogs in the face of a nationwide shortage. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=9709627&amp;ymd=2023-02-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151637\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_drug-store-mori-donate_2023_cl.jpg?resize=900%2C706&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Drugstore Mori Donates Millions to Japan Guide Dog Association\" width=\"900\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_drug-store-mori-donate_2023_cl.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_drug-store-mori-donate_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C235&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_drug-store-mori-donate_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C602&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>Photo from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atpress.ne.jp\/news\/342623\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">atpress<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
