European Food Banks Federation

The European Food Banks Federation (FEBA) is a federation that, since 1986, has united national food bank organisations across Europe. It recovers surplus food and redistributes it to charities in order to fight food insecurity and food waste. Its activities include member engagement, impact assessment through an Observatory, policy and advocacy work, and support to members through knowledge sharing, partnerships, training, innovation, and the exchange of best practices. In 2025, FEBA reported that, together with 25 Full Members and 3 Associate Members in 28 European countries, it redistributed approximately 860,890 tonnes of food and served over 13 million people in need.

FEBA was established in 1986 to unite food banks across Europe in the fight against hunger. In 2000, the network expanded to include more countries, enhancing its collective impact on food waste. In 2010, FEBA began advocating for policy changes to support food banks and reduce food insecurity. In 2020, FEBA launched new programs and partnerships to adapt to the challenges posed by the pandemic. In 2025, FEBA introduced a refreshed brand identity and website, signalling a renewed commitment to showing clearly and proudly the impact food banks have on people's lives.

A European federation fighting hunger and tackling food waste through solidarity, professionalism, and a shared commitment to social and environmental impact.
