Uniting resources — feeding the country

Our main goal is to feed as many Ukrainians as possible who, due to difficult life circumstances, military operations and other crisis situations, suffer from a lack of the most basic human need - food.

Our global mission is to strengthen Ukraine's food security and develop a culture of food consumption in modern society.

Our organization is the only associate member of the European Food Banks Federation (FEBA) in Ukraine

How do we work?

We accumulate

We receive food products from manufacturers, trading organizations, catering establishments, private individuals, and other suppliers

We rescue

We also collect food and hygiene products that have good consumer qualities but cannot be sold. In this way, we "save" these products from disposal

We store

We carefully monitor the quality of the products, ensure their proper storage, and create complete food packages that meet the needs of those who require assistance

We distribute

We deliver the assembled packages to local community and charitable organizations, as well as social institutions, which, in turn, distribute the food to those in need
