Banco de Alimentos

In the present, Fundacion Banco de Alimentos distributes 250 tonnes of foodstuffs per month and counts with the necessary logistics to quickly classify, store, and distribute food. We have an 800 square-meter warehouse equipped with walk-in coolers and freezers. Our computerized information system tracks the stock and expiration dates of all food stored in the warehouse and enables us to provide detailed reports of food donors. The organization works under strict quality control policies, allowing us to be ISO 9001:2000 certified.

Fundacion Banco de Alimentos provides Food donations to more than 480 organizations in Capital Federal and Greater Buenos Aires, feeding more than 79.000. Our partner organizations include soup kitchens, day-care centers, schools, community centers, homes for needy children and nursing homes.

These organizations go through an evaluation and selection process to be incorporated into the Food Bank network. This evaluation is done based on documentation provided by the organization, geographical area location, poverty level and a first visit to ensure that organizations meet our equipment and control of sanitation requirements. If the agency meets these requirements it is built to start receiving food.

Every six months, volunteers make a monitoring visit to each agency every six months. These visit also help us to strengthen our relationship with our partner organizations.

Partner organizations pick up food donations form our warehouse and make a contribution of $0.50 per kilo of food received.
