Organisatie Omschrijving
In the Netherlands, more than a million people live below the poverty line. The food banks help the poorest by providing them with food packages temporarily. In order to provide our customers with adequate food, we work with companies, institutions, governments and individuals. In this way, we will ensure that poverty is combated, food surpluses disappear and the environment is reduced. With the motto: " Eye for food, heart for people ".
In order to increase the self-reliance of our customers, we work with local organizations that help our customers get back on their own. Food aid must always be temporary.
In 2016, by the deployment of 11,000 volunteers, 38,500 food packages were distributed from 166 local food banks each week, and approximately 135,000 Dutch were dependent on the food bank.
