More than 800 million people around the world are hungry. The United Nations’s second Sustainable Development Goal, Zero Hunger, aims to end world hunger by 2030
To avoid this hunger, it is very important for us to have a food bank. If we do it by the Food Bank, no one will die of hunger in our country And this food bank can also create smart cities.A food bank is a non-profit, charitable organization that distributes food to those who have difficulty purchasing enough to avoid hunger. Food Banks provide an essential link between the food supply chain and the underprivileged .They encourage food businesses to commit to reducing food waste and also redirecting their surplus to feed those in need. The food banks acquire donated surplus food products including grains and packaged food as well as funds for sponsored mid-day meals or breakfasts and make them available to people who are hungry or lack nutritional food.
Food donations are critical to the ongoing mission of collecting and redistributing millions of pounds of food to individuals and families in Southwest Texas who don’t know where their next meals are coming from. By donating today, you’ll be helping a network of 90,000 individuals we serve weekly.

The network of 44 local not-for-profit and volunteer based Food Banks is distributing Ration Kits, Nutri kits & packaged food.
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.
Our Team help us by boxing, sorting and gleaning food that is later distributed through our network of more than 700 agency partners to our neighbors in need.
A number of devastating shocks in 2020 and the beginning of 2021 have stressed the vulnerable Yemini population and pushed the country towards a potential famine. These shocks include a currency crisis, a decline in humanitarian assistance, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a series of natural disasters. Each event has worsened food security from an already low base.
