WHAT WE DO

We serve the hungry in the community through institutional feeding programmes. Bangalore Food Bank acquires donated food in the form of food grains, pulses, oils, spices, and any shelf stable grains and makes these available through a network of community-owned NGOs. Food banks address the dual problems of hunger, and food waste in the environment. We feed the hungry and the needy.
Our efforts help extend the supply chain past the end of the commercial line into an effective distribution through a philanthropic arm. Corporates continue to see their products used for their intended purpose, which is feeding people, rather than being dumped, even though the commercial value may have seized to be viable at some point further up the supply chain. We strengthen the community and protect the environment. That is the power of food banking.
