We love partnerships between food banks and farms because they:
🍎 Help more people access fresh, healthy produce
🚜 Support local farms
♻️ Reduce the amount of fruits and vegetables that go to waste
Around the world, food banks are partnering with farms of all sizes to recover fresh surplus produce and deliver it to community members facing hunger.
We've got something new in the works! 😆 Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to find out what in just a few weeks: https://bit.ly/GFN_news
Thank you, Food Tank! We’re honored to be included alongside so many outstanding organizations working toward better, more sustainable food systems.
These 123 organizations are reducing food waste, scaling sustainable farming practices, increasing access to healthy meals, and so much more.
If one of your is to be more involved in your community, look no further! Here are three ways to volunteer at your local food bank.
When Food Bank Việt Nam needed to reach new, high-need areas, a GFN grant helped them increase cold storage in their current facilities and build "miniature" warehouses throughout the region.
They even installed over 30 community fridges throughout Ho Chi Minh City that contain produce, meat, frozen products, and dry goods!
Cold storage, like walk-in coolers, refrigerated trucks, and community fridges, make it possible for food banks to recover and distribute more fresh, healthy food.

Food pantries like Rise Against Hunger Philippines Good Food Grocer are all about giving community members choice in the food they take home.
In Tondo, a district of Manila, the Good Food Grocer serves over 300 community members every month. Pantry visitors can choose from a variety of food items and household products donated by the food bank's partners.

Foodbank Australia got creative when they noticed a decrease in donations of staple foods.
Through its Collaborative Supply Program, Foodbank and manufacturing partners agree on a product that can be produced using that partner’s existing processes and facilities.
The result? Steady supplies of nutritious and delicious staples for its communities.
One in six adults in Australia did not have enough food to eat in 2021, according to Foodbank Australia’s Hunger Report. Additionally, more than half of people facing food insecurity in Australia go an entire day without eating at least once a week. At the same time, Foodbank Australia, a membe...

In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, GFN member Kechara Soup Kitchen's (KSK) Empowerment Program equips women with sewing and baking skills to help foster financial independence.
The idea began in 2017 after KSK received a donation of high quality fabric that they didn't want to go to waste. Volunteers with sewing experience offered to teach the soup kitchen's recipients how to create something with the material.
Now, the Empowerment Program hosts trainings throughout the year that are accessible by public transit. Products are sold at bazaars, offices, retail stores, and online. Participants are compensated at an hourly rate and paid every week.
“Once we see that [the women’s] lifestyle is getting better and that they have a more stabilized income, they may not need to participate in the program or even need food assistance from us anymore,” said KSK Director of Operations Justin Cheah. “Some say [when the food distribution date arrives], ‘Thank you, we don't need the food anymore. Please save the food for another family. I'm doing very well [through] this program.’”
As many people gather for holiday celebrations and meals, we share our immense gratitude to food bank staff, volunteers, and supporters around the world.
Every day, you make it possible for more people to access safe and wholesome food. Thank you.💜

While the concept of food banking might seem simple, when you look closely, you'll find that each food bank is adapting the model to the unique needs of their communities.
In Thailand, Scholars of Sustenance Thailand - SOS Thailand Rescue Kitchens make it possible to prepare healthy, hot meals from nutritious, recovered food that can be quickly distributed without needing storage.
In the Philippines, in addition to a mobile “jeepney” meal truck, Rise Against Hunger Philippines has established community farms to ensure a consistent supply of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Thank you, PIMCO, for joining GFN on a recent visit to see these innovative food bank models in action!

Whoa — more than 18,000 people are part of לקט ישראל Leket Israel's volunteer community!
Leket provides nutritious food to people facing hunger by harvesting surplus agricultural produce and collecting already cooked meals, all while adhering to the highest food safety standards.
Volunteers are so important to Leket Israel's operations, especially when it comes to recovering and organizing fresh produce.
Many volunteers opt to lend their hand in the agricultural recovery program, where they participate in gleaning (the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers’ fields) fruits and vegetables.
GFN staff and fellow food bankers have volunteered for Leket Israel, too!

Connected to every food bank are vital organizations like schools, food pantries, community kitchens, and shelters.
Receiving food from local food banks means that these organizations can focus more of their resources on the services they are primarily designed to provide.
In Guatemala City, Nuestra Sagrada Familia serves economically disadvantaged families through education, enrichment, and feeding programs, and receives food from GFN member Desarrollo en Movimiento Guatemala.
In 2021, the organization supported over 100 children and youth from 60 families. 💜

What’s in Store for World Food Prices? Is a New Hunger Crisis Inevitable? Food prices and food insecurity are on the rise and the war in Ukraine is exacerbating the situation even more. In March, the Food and Agriculture Organization Price Index hit a record high, retreating only slightly in April. Experts predict that food prices won’t decrease significantly anytime soon. What does this mean for our global agrifood systems and food security?
Fill in the blank 💬 My favorite local ingredient to cook with or meal to make is_______. Maybe it's a specific fruit or vegetable, a meaningful dish to your community or country, or a favorite comfort food that always reminds you of home.
It's #SustainableSunday! What local ingredients are you cooking with today? For food banks, sourcing locally produced foods and cultural staples are crucial. It's not only a climate-friendly choice but it strengthens local food systems and ensures that people can access food that is meaningful to their communities. In Mexico City, Alimento Para Todos México produces its own tortillas, totopos (tortilla chips), and breadcrumbs. By preparing these foods on site, its partner agencies and the communities they support have consistent access to these important local staples.
