Invest in a world where no one goes hungry

The issue

Over 800 million people all over the world face hunger and malnutrition – yet almost one-third of food is lost or wasted.

What can we do about it?

Food banks offer a solution. They recover surplus food and redistribute it to the people who need it most.

The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN) is an international non-profit that supports, sustains, unites and advances local food banks in 47 countries.

One food bank operating alone can alleviate hunger in a small, yet mighty way. But a food bank connected to GFN can make more of an impact by scaling faster and operating more efficiently.

And you can help.

The equivalent of one US dollar can allow GFN food banks to source and distribute 14 meals for families in need.

Set up a one-time or monthly donation to the Global FoodBanking Network and help make hunger history.
