The Global FoodBanking Network

The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating hunger and reducing food waste by supporting and strengthening food banks in more than 50 countries. Founded in 2006, GFN provides expertise, resources, and training to help local food banks scale their operations and improve food security for vulnerable populations. The organization focuses on sourcing surplus food from the supply chain and distributing it to those in need, thereby addressing both environmental and social challenges. GFN also advocates for policies that support food recovery and works with global partners to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger. By bolstering community-led food banks, GFN plays a critical role in improving public health outcomes related to nutrition.
