The European Food Banks Federation (FEBA) works in collaboration with 24 Full Members and 6 Associate Members in 30 European countries. Its mission is to contribute to reducing food insecurity in Europe, through food waste prevention and the call for solidarity, by supporting and developing Food Banks in countries where they are most needed Food Banks are non-profit organizations, and their operating model may vary from country to country.
They are at the service of independent charities combatting food insecurity or they incorporate such charities in their own organization. They organize food distributions through their network of local charities, groups or communities or directly to final beneficiaries, where needed.
