The Global FoodBanking Network

Millions of people across the globe face hunger while nearly a third of food is lost or wasted. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Food banking is key to the solution.

Our
Community-Led Approach

Our mission is simple: We advance and unite food banks to nourish the world’s hungry.

Mobilizing food systems change

We provide the information, space, and connections necessary to ensure the world’s food banks have a voice in global conversations, moving us toward lasting food systems change.

Our
Impact

Million People

13.4

Million Children

The simple fact is, that without the formation of The Global FoodBanking Network, more people would be hungry, more good food would be unnecessarily wasted, and far less would be done globally to tackle these issues.
