Every day, volunteers of the Hannover Food Bank collect food that is no longer for sale but still of good quality from companies, supermarkets, stores, and bakeries to distribute it to people in need in Hannover.

Through this approach, baked goods, vegetables, fruits, and ready-to-eat products are made available for free pickup at distribution points. These items are then distributed to over 20 social organizations, including shelters for the homeless, centers for women and children, refugee services, and programs for individuals struggling with addiction. Additionally, food is provided to 20 institutions as part of the Children’s Food Bank program.
