Food Banks Norway

Matsentralen is a network of food banks that redistributes surplus food from food industry to non-profit organizations that help disadvantaged people in Norway. Through our work, we help both the food industry to reduce food waste, and nonprofit organizations to help people in need. In 2021, the norwegian food banks saved more than 4,000 tonnes of food from going to waste and redistributed this to more than 480 non-profit organizations that help people in vulnerable life situations.
