FOOD BANK

It is the 1st organization in Greece with the sole purpose of fighting hunger and limiting food waste in Greece.

Since its establishment, it has been an equal member of the European Federation of Food Banks (FEBA), bringing to Greece the model and structure of the rest of Europe's Food Banks.

There are 6 Food Banks operating in Greece: in Attica, Thessaloniki, Thessaly, Drama, Epirus and Crete and they are represented internationally by the European Food Banks Federation (FEBA).

In Europe there are now more than 336 Food Banks in 29 countries and new ones are constantly opening. They are members of the European Food Banks Federation (FEBA) based in Brussels. The success of the institution is due to the fact that it is the most effective way to combine the fight against hunger with the reduction of waste.

Purpose, the limitation of food waste and the utilization of products to fight hunger, which cannot be absorbed by the market.

With a central slogan "We don't throw anything away", our suppliers provide us with products every day which are either short-lived or have defective packaging but have not been spoiled.

Then we distribute them to institutions, charity meals and charity meals. There our volunteers cook every day ensuring a plate of food to everyone who needs it.
