POSHAN MAAH - Reaching out to Vulnerable Families

During the Nutrition Month, POSHAN MAAH September 2020, India Food Banking Network has doubled the quantum of its food assistance to families in need for greater impact during COVID-19 pandemic.
In collaboration with Sodexo and Stop Hunger, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of 5325 vulnerable families by providing them with 80,000 kg of non-perishable staples. Together we are ensuring that they have enough food to eat and remain healthy.

Feeding the Daily Wagers

Daily Wagers build our homes and run our cities. But during the Covid 19 outbreak, they are in great distress due to loss of livelihoods and have been struggling to feed their families. India Food banking Network is reaching out to them with Ration Kits to help them tide over the food crisis. We continue to help these vulnerable families to rebuild their lives and are actively seeking support from individuals and organizations with monetary donations for rations (raw food materials) and packaged products.

About us

The India Food Banking Network (IFBN) is evolving an ecosystem for food security interventions to support thousands of feeding programmes in India by bringing the government, private sector and NGOs together to fight hunger and malnutrition in India.

Our Vision

IFBN’s vision is to have a hunger and malnutrition free India. We aim to achieve this by establishing a strong and efficient network of FoodBanks throughout the country, so that every district has access to at least one FoodBank by 2030.

Get Involved

IFBN is a multi-stakeholder partnership of global, domestic and local community partners who contribute voluntary to support its humanitarian and development projects. Organizations and individuals are invited to work in collaboration with IFBN to eliminate hunger in India.

Join Hands with Us

Corporations and organizations are joining hands with IFBN and establishing foodbanks under their leadership to eliminate hunger in India.

Thanks to our partners' generous support, we could begin feeding India's hungry and engage our country in the fight to end malnutrition and hunger.

Companies involved in large scale production of packaged food can support IFBN by giving their surplus inventory which is perfectly good for consumption and has all food quality checks.
