The 'FC Tokyo Book Drive' is a sustainable reuse and recycling initiative that collects finished books with the cooperation of fans, supporters, local community members, and partner companies, and connects this to employment support for people with disabilities.

This initiative embodies two pillars of FC Tokyo’s social statement: 'A city wrapped in warmer support' and 'A city blessed with cleaner air and nature,' approaching both welfare and environmental aspects.

The collected books are primarily inspected, listed, and shipped by people with disabilities, and the sales proceeds are returned to them as wages (compensation). Through careful and accurate work, this support activity allows them to experience the joy of working and a sense of connection with society.

This initiative is also being carried out as part of 'NO PLANET, NO TOKYO,' taking a multifaceted approach to various regional and social issues.

Beyond the act of handing over a book, a job is created for someone, which then leads to support for people with disabilities──

FC Tokyo will continue to work together with the local community to create a city where kindness circulates.
