Our National Programs
From saving surplus across retail chains to community national collections and support for local farmers.
From Farm to Family Program
We collect fresh fruit and vegetables directly from Romanian farmers. When there's a production surplus or vegetables with minor cosmetic defects that can't be sold in supermarkets, the Food Bank collects and transports them quickly to social centers.
- Reduces waste right at the agricultural source.
- Over 4,000 tonnes of fresh vegetables and fruit delivered annually.
National Food Collection (Easter & Christmas)
Twice a year, we organize the Great National Collection in hundreds of partner hypermarkets and stores across the country. Shoppers are invited to donate non-perishable food (oil, flour, cornmeal, canned goods, pasta) for the holiday meals of families in need.
- Involves thousands of volunteers in over 600 stores across Romania.
- Collects over 300,000 kg of non-perishable food each edition.
Anti-Waste Education in Schools
We run educational workshops and awareness campaigns for students and young people, teaching the value of food, how to read labels, how to store food properly at home, and why waste affects the environment.
