The non-profit Banco de Alimentos (Food Bank) has worked for almost 20 years to avoid the waste of food thanks to its partnerships and donations, alongside 1,192 social organizations, to collaborate with feeding 163 thousand people in Buenos Aires, of whom 76% are children and teens. Banco de Alimentos (Food Bank) distributes a weekly average of 96 tons of food and products through a transparent and efficient channel that guarantees that the contributions reach those who need it most.

More than 16 million people in Argentina are impoverished and while their health is protected by staying at home during COVID-19 pandemic, they cannot continue to feed their families under such circumstances. 

This initiative was created to bring to light some of the difficulties that a great number of people in the country are going through today, and to consider how we can lend a hand from our homes so that staying home is a possibility for everyone.
