Community-Led Approach

Our mission is simple: We advance and unite food banks to nourish the world’s hungry.

Mobilizing food systems change

We provide the information, space, and connections necessary to ensure the world’s food banks have a voice in global conversations, moving us toward lasting food systems change.
