Over 970 food banks, one mission: to save food and help people living in poverty. The food banks rescue food that can no longer be sold and pass it on to people in poverty who often cannot afford a balanced diet.
With 60,000 helpers, the food banks are one of the largest socio-ecological movements in Germany. Every year, they save around 265,000 tons of food and pass it on to 1.6 to 2 million people.
