How does it work?
The Czech Federation of Food Banks is the umbrella organisation for food banks in the Czech Republic. It represents them at both national and international levels and operates a central warehouse. Food banks are non-profit organisations that collect food and distribute it to accredited charities. These charities then provide food to people in need — especially abandoned seniors, families in crisis, single parents, and the homeless.
Food banks receive donations from supermarket chains, food drives, the European Food and Material Aid Programme, farmers, producers, and individuals. Most of the donated food is close to its expiry date, past its “best before” date, has damaged packaging, or is incorrectly labelled. By rescuing this food, it is prevented from ending up in landfills or incinerators.
