Mission and Values

“The concept of food banks has existed since late 1960s, but hardly anyone knew about it in Russia until 2012. At the same time, more than a third of all food in the country end up as waste. For instance, supermarkets and people dispose 17 mln tons of food every year! Imagine you cooked a pie for your family but threw a third of it in the trash right away. You would regret your efforts, time, ingredients, and money spent on them. Food banks use smart technologies to use the maximum amount of food and products for their intended purpose, which means they increase the efficiency of every ruble spent on their production. It is an economic miracle! When we first knew the concept of a food bank, we decided to act immediately.”
