WHO WE ARE

We are food bankers. As a non-profit distribution agency, we help move shelf-stable food provisions from donors, to the people who need it the most. Our vision is to build a nation where everyone receives minimum yet sustained food and nourishment, that helps us to build a healthy & stronger community for all. Any person or corporate organisation who wants to make a positive change is connected through us to a network of NGOs who share our purpose. Working together and supporting all, we hope to ease the hunger concerns in Bengaluru.

We look forward to having you join our effort.

WHAT WE DO

We, at Bangalore Food Bank, feed the hungry and the needy. We serve the hungry in the community through various 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 to the poor, through a network of community-owned NGOs.

At BFB we help to extend your supply chain, past the end of the commercial line into an effective distribution through a philanthropic extension. This is important because food banks help corporates to continue to see their products used for their intended purpose, which is feeding people, rather than it being 'dumped' at landfills, even though the commercial value may have ceased to be viable at some point up the commercial chain.

This way, the excess food is used for its intended purpose, and you will be looked at as a socially responsible organization who cares enough. This is your opportunity to invest in Social Return on Investment (SROI) and corporate goodwill. In this way, we strengthen the community and also, protect the environment. That is the power of food banking.
