How Does a Food Bank Work?

Bursa Food Bank
Bursa Food Bank was founded in 2021 as part of the Food Bank Programme run by Volunteer Movement. As the first food bank set up in Bursa on the initiative of a civil society organisation, it supports citizens facing economic hardship.
Feed Hope
Would you like to take a family in economic hardship under your wing and support them? You can make it possible for one more family in need to receive support from our food bank.

In almost every school there are dozens of children who come without breakfast and cannot buy anything from the canteen. We provide school meal support so that these children are not hungry all day.
Food Collection Campaign
In line with the needs of our food bank we organise food collection campaigns with companies, private schools and other institutions, and deliver what is collected to the people our food bank serves.
