How we work
Throughout the year, the Food Bank collects food and funds from companies and individuals. At the same time, it allocates donations to charitable associations and Social Protection Establishments (PSE) with which it has partnership agreements. The traceability of donations is ensured upstream and downstream; the beneficiary associations undertake not to market the donations and to store them in decent conditions.
The Food Bank ensures that the beneficiary associations are up to date with their regulatory obligations in terms of governance.
A unique chain of solidarity
The main action of the Food Bank is to collect food and redistribute it to associations.
However, many donors and patrons donate other than food: hygiene products, clothing, school equipment, mattresses, blankets, furniture, etc. These elements make it possible to contribute to the development of associations and EPS and to enrich the range of donations of the Food Bank.
Logistical organization
Every day, large quantities of food enter and leave the Food Bank’s warehouses. Upon arrival in the warehouse, the goods are checked, sorted, recorded and stored either in a cold room for perishable or refrigerated food or in racks for non-perishable products.

Distribution of food aid
The Food Bank distributes food to Social Protection Establishments (PSE) that depend on the National Mutual Aid and to more than …. Associations throughout the Kingdom, even in the most remote areas.
The delivery of food is ensured either by the Food Bank or by the beneficiaries.
At the service of quality food
Food safety is a top priority for the Food Bank. The handling of foodstuffs requires strict safety and hygiene rules from the moment of receipt in the warehouse. The aim is to eliminate any risk to the health of the beneficiaries.
At present, most of the food distributed by the Food Bank consists of non-perishable products. In order to ensure a nutritional balance for the beneficiaries, the Food Bank seeks to multiply the donations of fruits and vegetables and other fresh products to the beneficiaries. The goal is to ensure a healthy, safe, quality and diversified diet.
