Resumo: The Food Bank is a charity organization, distributing food to people living in poverty and can only work with the help of volunteers.

In Estonia, there are 11 Food Banks. The Food Bank operates as an umbrella organization for all Food Banks. The Food Bank collects food, controls it and distributes it weekly to 1700 families living in poverty. The Tallinn Food Bank cooperates with 45 charity organizations in Harju and Rapla county.

The Food Bank has one manager, two warehouse managers, one bus driver, one communication manager, and a bookkeeper. In addition to employed staff, there are local volunteers who are engaged on a regular basis.

The project helps to prevent and combat prejudice, racism and all attitudes leading to exclusion – the Food Bank helps people living in poverty in Estonia. We fight poverty, hunger, and exclusion. The priority of the organization is always families living in poverty, especially families with many children and families with small children. All people who belong to these groups can get help. Food is distributed for free.

The project develops a sense of tolerance and understanding of diversity – the aim is to fight exclusion and to get more attention for people living in poverty.
