The European Food Banks Federation (FEBA)

FEBA is a European non-profit organisation and works in collaboration with 24 Full Members and 6 Associate Members in 30 European countries.

Since 1986, FEBA’s mission has consisted in representing its membership at European and international level;

supporting and strengthening Food Banks in Europe by providing training, sharing best practices and knowledge, establishing partnerships;

and fostering the creation and development of new Food Banks.

FEBA brings together a network of Food Banks which are committed to prevent food waste and to reduce food insecurity.

In 2021, the 341 Food Banks belonging to our membership redistributed 907,280 tonnes of food to 45,810 charitable organisations providing food assistance to 11.8 million most deprived people thanks to the professionalism of 39,781 co-workers (83% volunteers).

In addition to surplus food from the food supply chain, FEBA Members also redistribute food from the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) and the EU Fruits and Vegetables withdrawal scheme, as well as from individual and corporate food collections.
