World Food Day 2023 | The Global FoodBanking Network

This World Food Day, Invest in Emerging Community Leaders

At The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN), we’re empowering emerging leaders and young food banks, providing crucial technical guidance, mentoring, and partnership opportunities.

With your support, we’ve seen remarkable progress – like Food Banking Kenya’s 4,000% increase in food distribution since joining our Accelerator Program in 2019.

Last year, GFN partner food banks provided food to 32 million people, thanks to donors like you. Your contribution ensures that we can continue to expand services, helping support the development of sustainable, and efficient food banks led by visionary, passionate local leaders!

With just a one-time gift of $50, you can help provide 700 meals to children and families facing food insecurity. Donate Today.
