The Global FoodBanking Network coordinates a global system of food banks and partners to recover and redirect surplus food to people in need across more than 50 countries. Based in Chicago, Illinois, it operates within the international affairs sphere and supports a network that connects donors, food banks, and other stakeholders. In 2024, the network provided food to more than 39 million people while reducing food waste and fostering healthier, more resilient communities. The organization centers measurement and policy work to improve the food donation system, including the FRAME methodology introduced in 2024 and collaboration on The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas with Harvard Law School. It also forges cross-sector partnerships to expand donation opportunities, such as a partnership that enables McDonald's franchises to donate excess food in more than 100 countries. These activities illustrate its role in aligning hunger relief with environmental and policy objectives across the global food system.
