Lithuanian Food Bank / „Maisto Bankas“

Lithuanian food bank “Maisto bankas” was launched in 2001. Our mission is to fight poverty and food waste. „Maisto bankas” operates across Lithuania as a mediator collecting donated food from retailers, producers, farmers or the general public and providing them to the poor through the network of social non-profits; the latter ensures that donated foodstuffs reach beneficiaries in need. “Maisto bankas” is the largest and most recognizable Lithuanian charity, in collaboration with 600 local organizations operating in 81 Lithuanian cities and towns.
