Food Banks Fill the Blanks

Food banks are experts in recovering and distributing food to people facing hunger – but that’s not all. The food bank model can help fill the blanks for solutions to some of the world’s toughest challenges, like climate change, food insecurity, the cost-of-living crisis, malnutrition, and more. This year, for International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (September 29) and World Food Day (October 16), The Global FoodBanking Network will shine a light on the different ways that food banks fill in the blanks.
