The Global FoodBanking Network
Chicago, IL
In FY 2022, food banks supported by GFN recovered over 692M kilos of food and grocery products and re-directed this surplus to approximately 39 million persons facing hunger. Half of people served by GFN member food banks were women and girls; approximately 34% were children ages 0-17 years. GFN supported member food banks as they served as true frontline emergency responders to COVID-19, facing surging demand for food, pivoting distribution models amid pandemic-spurred supply chain disruptions, and recent food price spikes and the cost-of-living crisis. The Global FoodBanking Network comprises 49 food banking organizations across 44 countries, based primarily in emerging and development markets across Latin America, South and Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, working through networks of more than 59K local community service agencies, and supported by nearly 317K volunteers.
