A Humanitarian Response to Hunger in a World of Plenty
Nearly 800 million people around the world do not have enough to eat.
At the same time, more than one-third of all food produced for humans
goes to waste.
There is enough food to feed the world. Hunger is less about the
availability of food and more about physical and economic access
to that food.
Food banks get food from where it is available to places where people
go without. It’s about logistics, networking, collaboration and caring…
and that is the everyday work of GFN and our global network
of food banks.

3. LETTER FROM GFN LEADERSHIP
Changing Lives. Together.
“Our world is getting smaller and smaller. You can go to
any country and see how people are impacted not only
by things that happen locally, but also by things that
are happening around the world. So, it is in everyone’s
best interests to ensure that all parts of the planet are
working well together.”
Pat Tracy, Chairman of the Board, The Global FoodBanking Network
For all humanity to grow and thrive, every individual must have access to
nutritious food. When you think about it, nothing can happen without food.
Children can’t grow and learn. Parents can’t work and they can’t take care of
their families. If individuals aren’t prospering, the community can’t prosper.
That’s why food banking is so important. Food banks nourish and nurture lives.
They are a lifeline linking those in need with support services that help them
become self-sufficient. Food is simply the catalyst.
This past year, GFN and food banks in our network nourished and improved
the lives of millions of our neighbors in need. We are grateful to the generous
individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations that helped us bring
food, hope and opportunity to so many people around the world.
Together, we made strong progress toward our core goals of alleviating hunger
and reducing food waste.
Fed more hungry people than ever before
Food banks in the GFN network distributed more than 1.2 billion pounds
of food through more than 28,000 social service organizations. This
food nourished more than 6.5 million people and enabled beneficiary
organizations—including schools, orphanages, senior centers, soup kitchens
and more—to provide critical human services that help people lead healthier,
safer and more productive lives.
Helped protect the environment
The network kept more than one billion pounds of perfectly edible food
from going to waste. Food in landfill produces dangerous methane gas that
contributes to global warming.
Brought food banking to more areas of need
GFN now works in 34 countries. This year we played a key role in the creation
of the first food bank in Bangalore, India, and new food banks opened in China,
Dominican Republic, Panama, Peru and Uruguay.
Strengthened individual food banks and our collective ability to
help more hungry people
We continued to share our highly specialized food banking expertise with
social entrepreneurs around the world. In addition, we mobilized essential
resources—including food, funds and volunteers—by connecting food banks
with global organizations with the means and ability to share.
We would like to recognize and thank Jeff Klein, who served as GFN President
and CEO for the past four and a half years. While Jeff is no longer serving in
this capacity, he continues to be a strong supporter of GFN. Jeff took GFN from
a small but growing organization to a globally recognized leader in the fight
against hunger and food waste. He built a strong team that will execute a new
strategic plan to guide GFN through our next stage of significant growth.
Thank you for being part of our success. We hope that you will continue to
support our mission as GFN enters our tenth year of fighting hunger and
reducing food waste through food banking.

STRENGTHENED PARTNERSHIPS AND CRITICAL ALLIANCES
GFN has close working relationships with food banking networks that support
and promote food banking in their respective regions:
• European Federation of Food Banks (FEBA) – Europe
• Feeding America – United States
• Food Banking Regional Network – Middle East, most of Africa, Bangladesh
and Pakistan
We collaborate with these networks to share best practices, mobilize resources,
and promote our mutual interest in seeing a world free from hunger.
We also partner with a number of global humanitarian and service organizations that
align with our mission, including Feed My Starving Children, Stop Hunger Now, the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and others.

CHANGING LIVES TOGETHER

5. “It is so inspiring to know that we are part of a global
movement that is making a difference every day!”
Sarah Pennell, Business and Communications Manager, Foodbank Australia
Hunger is evolving. A decade ago, most of the
world’s hungry people were in rural areas in low
income, food deficit countries where there was a
concentration of extreme poverty. Today, more of
the world’s hungry people live in urban areas in
countries that are classified as middle income.
This changing dynamic, which will continue
to increase as more countries become middle
income, is driving the United Nations World Food
Programme to work in different ways.
Food banking is increasingly important to our
organization. We look to GFN to provide insights
and on-the-ground solutions in these areas. And
we will continue to rely on GFN to help with local
engagement to roll out food and nutrition programs.
Stanlake J.T.M. Samkange, Policy and Programme Division
Director, United Nations World Food Programme

6. Accelerate
the POWER of FOOD BANKING
All in a Day’s Work
In the world of food banking, challenges and opportunities are different in every
community. Local regulations, the availability of food sources, geography and
even cultural feelings about helping others can vary significantly. Because
of this, the food bank model must be adapted in each country. That’s where
GFN comes in.
Expertise
The GFN Network Development Team – With nearly 60 years of
combined food banking experience, GFN experts are uniquely qualified to help
food banks achieve success.
Education and Training
H-E-B/GFN Food Bank Leadership Institute (FBLI) – Our international
educational forum is an intensive four-day food banking immersion that
strengthens individual food bank leaders and the global food banking community.
GFN Learning Center – We began work on an exciting new initiative for online
education that will offer resources designed to deepen food bankers’ knowledge,
advance their abilities and enhance leadership skills.
Online ToolKits – GFN ToolKits help social entrepreneurs understand the
dynamics of starting a food bank and initiate the food bank development process.
Connections
GFN directly connects our member food banks with global supporters that
contribute valued assets, such as food, volunteers, warehouse and office
space, equipment and vehicles, and professional services... along with
compassion, enthusiasm and creativity.
Financial Support
Generous grants to GFN—for example, FY 2015 grants from the Abbott
Fund, Black and Veatch Building a World of Difference Foundation, Caterpillar
Foundation, General Mills Foundation and others—make it possible for us to
provide specific funding to help food banks expand into underserved areas,
operate critical programs for children, and significantly increase their overall
capacities to accept and distribute greater volumes of food.

7. Green Food Bank, Shanghai, China
Eve Li attended FBLI and it inspired her to start a food bank in Shanghai.
“I learned so much from GFN and from the other food bank leaders
at FBLI. I have a plan to build a food bank immediately after I return
home to China.” Eve Li, Director, Green Food Bank
Eve and her colleagues launched the first food bank in mainland China less
than three months after she attended FBLI!
Banco de Alimentos Peru
GFN helped local social entrepreneurs turn a small food distribution program
into a growing food bank that is on track to meet GFN’s international standards.
“GFN gave us the business plan, explained the process, and showed
us what success will look like. We continue to seek input from GFN as
we expand.” Lía Celi, Executive Director, Banco de Alimentos Peru
Banco de Alimentos República Dominicana
“GFN is a very important ally. They advise on many situations like how
to deal with donors, beneficiaries and the public. GFN opens doors
that we cannot open on our own. People are willing to listen and
help us because we are connected to this credible global network.”
Julien Bulliard, Executive Director, Banco de Alimentos República Dominicana
The Bangalore Food Bank
The launch of the first food bank in Bangalore, India, was a true collaborative
effort. GFN partnered with global and local leadership of Griffith Laboratories,
and the company became deeply engaged in all aspects of a food bank
development project in Bangalore.
GFN advised the Griffith-led planning forum that included GFN supporters
Grant Thornton and Rotary International, along with the India FoodBanking
Network and several Bangalore businesses. The food bank opened on World
Food Day (October 16) 2014.
Banco de Alimentos Panamá
When a group of Panamanian business people wanted to start a food bank,
they visited the GFN network food bank in Costa Rica. Food bank leaders
there encouraged the Panamanian group to contact GFN. They did, and in
less than a year, they opened the country’s first food bank and convinced their
government to enact Good Samaritan legislation that encourages, directs and
regulates food donations.
“We took every bit of knowledge GFN shared! GFN provided advice
specific to our situation, shared best practices from other network
food banks, and developed a planning framework. Because of this,
we were able to move quickly … and do it the right way.”
Jorge Luis Carbonell, Director General, Banco de Alimentos Panamá

8. STRENGTHENING FOOD BANKS
GFN provides one-on-one support and counsel to help food banks address
ongoing challenges, identify and re-imagine the potential for growth, work more
efficiently, obtain more resources, and find ways to do more with the resources
they already have.
FareShare UK - GFN Fuels Transformation
“GFN’s role in the fight against hunger in the UK has been truly
extraordinary. The volume of food we have received from the food
industry has grown 33% in the past year. GFN’s support has been
instrumental in enabling our expansion and providing more food to
people who need it.” Lindsay Boswell, CEO, FareShare UK
GFN has provided FareShare UK with significant multi-year grants made
possible by the Caterpillar Foundation and the General Mills Foundation.
These funds have enabled FareShare to create a more efficient and effective
infrastructure, develop innovative solutions to obtain and deliver more food, and
expand the reach of their services to new areas of increasing poverty and hunger.
For example, FareShare East Midlands (Leicester) started small, distributing
food from a local church hall. Today, it is a key FareShare Regional Centre
housed in a substantial industrial warehouse. The Centre distributes food to
beneficiary organizations across a broad geographical area, most of which
was previously unserved. GFN has provided financial support for much of
this expansion as a result of grants GFN has received from the Caterpillar
Foundation since 2012.
The Caterpillar Foundation – Since 2012, the Caterpillar Foundation has made
investments in GFN that total more than US$1.4 million. Last year, Caterpillar
Foundation grants enabled us to support programs of FareShare UK, Bancos
de Alimentos de México (BAMX) and The Food Bank Singapore. Funding to
BAMX is helping Banco de Alimentos de Monterrey access more fresh produce
and improve the quality of food delivered to people in extreme poverty. Funding
to The Food Bank Singapore is supporting a prepared food recovery pilot
program to reduce food waste and get more food to hungry people.
The General Mills Foundation – Since 2011, the General Mills Foundation
has made grants of more than US$1 million to GFN to support general
operations and the H-E-B/GFN Food Bank Leadership Institute. In FY 2015,
the Foundation support to GFN enabled us to provide a grant of US$250,000
to FareShare UK.
Central America - Fostering Regional Collaboration
Despite close proximity and good intentions, food banks in Central America
have found it difficult to share ideas and resources. The reasons include
cultural and conversational differences, along with mountainous terrain that
inhibits travel.
To make it easier for food banks in the region to work together, GFN initiated a
new, regional approach and appointed a dedicated advisor to support the effort.
This has enabled food banks to share ideas and connections and will lead to
enhanced capabilities for individual food banks and for the entire region.
“We are opening eyes to opportunities, breaking down barriers
that keep products from going from warehouses to food banks,
and opening doors for new sources of food all around the region.
Working together, I think we will move mountains.”
Alfredo Kasdorf, GFN Special Advisor to Latin American Food Banks

9. 9TH ANNUAL H-E-B/GFN FOOD BANK LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (FBLI)
FBLI 2015 was the largest and most diverse global food banking symposium yet. This unique, dynamic learning event made a positive
impact on individual attendees and on the collective will of the food banking community to find ways to rescue more food and nourish
more hungry people.
“You are not going to believe this, but it is true. I came back a totally
different person. I feel like I have seen something that has always
been there, but that I couldn’t really see before.”
Magaly Quintana Ruiz, Director of Procurement and Fundraising,
Bancos de Alimentos de México
“I really enjoyed meeting with the regional food bankers. Their
passion and enthusiasm was inspiring. I’m looking forward to future
collaborations with them.”
Brigitte Burgoyne, Director of Global Employee Involvement, Cargill
“Thank you for the opportunity to take part in meaningful dialogue
around global hunger. We recognize that hunger is tied to the
broader challenge of poverty, and we are honored to partner with
GFN to help those in need.”
Kerry H. Sullivan, President, Bank of America Charitable Foundation
“To be successful, we must look ahead and invest in our leaders.
That’s what GFN does every day. It’s particularly apparent here at
FBLI where there are so many people who are changing people’s
lives. This is the result of that investment.”
Danny Flores, Public Affairs Manager, H-E-B
THANK YOU!
FBLI would not have been possible without the generosity of our supporters:
H-E-B, the General Mills Foundation, the Kellogg Company Fund, Maor
Foundation, Bank of America Charitable Foundation, Cargill, Griffith
Laboratories, The DLA Piper Foundation, Bloomberg LP, Ingredion, and
The Madison Energy Group. We also are extremely grateful to our host,
the Houston Food Bank.

FBLI EXPERIENCE = POSITIVE ACTION
The FBLI experience—learning new skills, embracing brave ideas,
and making mutually beneficial connections—leads to action. Aspiring
and experienced food bankers have gone on to launch new food
banks, expand food banks to reach more people, and implement
programs that promote self-sufficiency.
For corporate supporters, FBLI is an efficient way to learn more
about food banking, interact with food bank leaders, and find local
opportunities to activate global philanthropic programs.

FOOD BANKS NOURISH LIVES
Some people are born to difficult situations. Others temporarily fall on hard
times. But every person, regardless of life’s circumstances, deserves the
opportunity to realize his or her potential and lead a productive and fulfilling life.
Food banks help make that possible.
Food banks are a central link in an interconnected chain of service
organizations that, together, help address the causes of hunger and
malnutrition and promote sustained change.
HELPING THOSE WHO HELP OTHERS
Red de Alimentos Chile –
Senior care facility built thanks to food bank donations
Elderly residents of a senior center in Santiago have a new assisted living
facility to call home thanks to Red de Alimentos (Red), GFN’s member food
bank in Chile.
For the past four years, Red has provided food to Villa de Ancianos to nourish
180 seniors who rely on this Center to provide food, shelter, medical care and
a sense of community. Without the burden of finding and paying for food, the
Center has been able to focus on what it does best: providing care for the elderly.
“Red’s food donations enabled us to save money and redirect funds
to services that help our residents. We would never have been able
to build our wonderful new assisted living facility without the
food bank.” Adeline Arroyo, Director, Villa de Ancianos
EMPOWERING WOMEN TO BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT
Banco de Alimentos de Guatemala –
Making bracelets, chocolate and a living wage
Women in many countries have little access to education and few opportunities
to earn a living. Without a job, it is nearly impossible for a mother living in
poverty to support herself and her family.
Banco de Alimentos de Guatemala is helping break the cycle of poverty and
hunger by offering programs that teach women marketable skills, enabling
them to earn a living wage.
Women learn how to make and market products like jelly, chocolate and
bracelets. The true end product is self-confidence and independence.

11. GIVING CHILDREN A HEALTHY START AT LIFE
GFN and every food bank in our network place a high priority on nourishing
and nurturing children to give them a chance to learn, grow and succeed.
Kellogg Company’s Breakfasts for Better Days™ –
Food banks distribute 25,000 breakfasts to school
children each day!
Kellogg Company’s Breakfasts for Better Days™ (BFBD) program launched
in 2013 with a goal to help donate one billion servings of cereals and
snacks—half of which are breakfasts—to children around the world by the
end of 2016. Working with food banks in the network, GFN facilitates and
expands food distribution to ensure food is getting to those in need.
The company and its charitable arm, the Kellogg Company Fund, along with
partners, including GFN and our member food banks, have provided more than
900 million total food servings since BFBD launched. By relieving their hunger,
we are giving children the chance to reach their full potential at school and in
life. Together, we are making a positive impact.
GFN and member food banks in Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, and Turkey are proud
to partner with Kellogg Company’s BFBD initiative, helping provide 25,000
breakfasts to children each day.
The BackPack Program –
Food for the weekend helps children succeed
Each school weekend, 250 children in Mexico City receive backpacks filled with
food thanks to the dedicated funding GFN received from the Abbott Fund, the
foundation of the global healthcare company Abbott. These funds enabled GFN
to make a grant to the Alimento para Todos food bank through GFN’s member
Bancos de Alimentos de México (BAMX). This food nourishes the students,
as well as their families, on weekends when they do not have access to food
through school feeding programs. Since 2011, more than 19,000 backpacks
have been distributed to children in Mexico through BackPack Programs.
FY2015 Annual Report / 9
AlimentoparaTodos
For students like Axel, Ian and Estev, the BackPack Program has been life
changing. Each of the boys has grown physically, socially and academically
since they began bringing home nutritious food for the weekend.
Kellogg Company of South Africa
“What many don’t realize is that investing in school breakfast
programs is actually an investment in the future. In Australia, for
example, every kilogram of food that goes to the 137,290 breakfasts
provided to Australian children each week through a school
breakfast program results in a long-term social return* of AUD $110
in terms of improved physical health and school performance.”
Jason Hincks, CEO, Foodbank Australia

12. Connecting People...
for Good!
GFN represents food banks in our network and facilitates relationships with
individuals, businesses and organizations that have resources food banks
need and the desire to make a difference.
“Being part of GFN is a fantastic benefit, especially when developing
partnerships with multinational companies. Membership is like a seal
of approval and reassures donors of our credibility.”
Gabrielle Kirstein, Executive Director, Feeding Hong Kong
“We know that GFN network food banks have been vetted; they are
legitimate and well run organizations. This expedites the process for
us so we can get right to work helping hungry people.”
Brian Nash, Director, Sustainability and Environment, Ingredion
“GFN is our eye on the world. They knew what we were doing in
Colombia [at Saciar] and matched us with a great donor in the US.”
Gloria Ospina, Project Coordinator, Fundación SACIAR
We are grateful to food donors, such as Kellogg Company, Unilever, Néstle,
Carrefour, Danone, Grupo Exito, Mondeléz International, Procter & Gamble,
Walmart, Alqueria, PepsiCo, and Grupo Nutresa, that have generously donated
food and other products that nourish hungry people.
We also are thankful to the organizations outside of the food industry that found
unique and valuable ways to support our work, for example:
• The Madison Energy Group donated 92 EnerG2 units that help food
bankers accurately measure refrigerator and freezer temperatures so they
run more efficiently.
• Hilton Worldwide provided Hilton HHonorsTM
Points that reduced our
travel expenses, enabling the GFN Network Development Team to provide
more in-country assistance.
• DLA Piper LLP (US) provided pro bono legal services.
• Macquarie Group Foundation provided funding to support the new
GFN online Learning Center.
• Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) employees devoted
thousands of hours globally to support food banking in local communities.
As part of the bank’s overall hunger relief efforts including the My Environment
Wasteless Lunch Program, BofAML ran a series of employee events to raise
awareness of hunger and the environmental impact of food waste. Employees
in nine countries—Mexico, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, the UK,
Belgium, Turkey, Spain and Italy—volunteered to support food banks.
“Giving back is good for
business. Employees like
to work for companies
that have a powerful social
conscience and communities
rally around companies
that help support local
and global causes.”

Volunteer Trips –
Creating a Meaningful Experience
Students at Rice University’s Center for Civic Leadership were seeking a
volunteer opportunity where they could make a real difference. The Bulgarian
Food Bank needed help with its bi-annual food drive. We brought them together
and organized a two-week, on-site volunteer project in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Students handled a variety of activities, including working in the warehouse,
serving food at a soup kitchen, and helping with the food drive that collected
6.7 tons of food.
“Our food drive is a huge undertaking. We wouldn’t have been able
to manage it without the students who donated so many working
hours in a short period of time.”
Tsanka Milanova, Executive Director, Bulgarian Food Bank
“GFN and the Bulgarian Food Bank were co-educators in our students’
learning process. The experience exposed students to culture,
politics, and history of Bulgaria, and it showed them how food
disparities impact the lives of people locally and globally.”
Lauren Caldarera, Associate Director, Center for Civic Leadership, Rice University
We hope to organize more service trips to inspire volunteers and help food
banks in the GFN network.
Food Distribution –
Finding a home for 100,000 meals
Stop Hunger Now had 100,000 pre-packed meals available in Brazil. When
the intended recipient could not handle the distribution, Stop Hunger Now
called on GFN. We opened the door for Mesa Brasil SESC, and the food bank
was able to distribute this unexpected gift of nutritious food that fed thousands
of hungry people.
Multi-market Involvement
• More than 1,300 Carrefour volunteers joined forces with food bank
volunteers in 2,300 Carrefour stores around the world during the Carrefour
Foundation’s second annual international food collection campaign in
November 2014. The equivalent of 42 million meals was collected to feed
hungry people. GFN, along with FEBA, played a key role in ensuring that
network food banks received this generous supply of food.
• Nineteen Griffith Laboratories facilities in 13 countries collaborated with more
than 50 product suppliers worldwide for the company’s Produce for Hunger
initiative. Produce for Hunger delivered 1.3 million easy-to-prepare meals
to 18 food banks, non-governmental organizations, and local communities in
one day. GFN linked Griffith with food banks around the world to help ensure
an efficient distribution process.
Intellectual Capital
IBM’s most talented employees provide pro bono counsel to help organizations
in the developing world. We brought IBM Corporate Service Corps (CSC)
together with BAMX in 2014 and initiated a successful pilot effort with the food
bank in Merída, Mexico.
This past year we partnered with IBM CSC on food bank projects in two
more cities in Mexico—Toluca and Monterrey—and in three South American
countries—Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador. These efforts helped food banks
improve their supply chain practices and overall operations. As a result, more
food was distributed and more people were fed. In Argentina, a mobile app was
created that helped expand volunteer engagement.
Global Impact
Rotary International extended our initial two-year service partnership
agreement for an additional three-year period. Rotarians around the world are
actively engaging in efforts to help local food banks.
GFN is helping Lions Clubs International achieve its goal of helping 25 million
hungry people by 2018 in celebration of its 100th Anniversary.

“Food banking is one of the few opportunities we have to address a number of issues that affect our people and our
planet at the same time. Food banks provide food to the hungry, which has many benefits. In addition, food banking
helps our environment by reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills, cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Finally, food banking allows people who want to share their gifts to provide for a better world.” Pat Tracy

GFN Mission
The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN)
is an international nonprofit organization
dedicated to alleviating global hunger
and reducing food waste. We do this by
collaborating to develop food banks in
communities where they are needed
around the world, and by supporting
food banks where they already exist.
“It takes a bunch of brave people to find a solution.
It’s not always easy. Every country has its own
different challenges and opportunities. But, if
everyone works together in the same direction
it definitely puts the world in a better place.”
Nichol Ng, The Food Bank Singapore
In 2016, GFN will celebrate a decade
of growing and strengthening food banking
around the world. Stay tuned for
announcements of our bold goals for
both the coming year and the years ahead.
We hope you will stay connected. Sign up
for our eNews at www.foodbanking.org.
