18. Service Partners!

19. • What is the purpose of this service partnership?
 The service partnership between The Global FoodBanking Network
(GFN) and Rotary International (RI) provides a way to collaborate by
combining resources to combat the issues of hunger and food insecurity
through food banking.
Rotarians can:
 Volunteer to help at an existing food bank;
 Organize food collection drives;
 Donate food and grocery products, equipment, and services to a food
bank; and
 Assist in creating a food bank where needed by coordinating
introductions and support between GFN and Rotary leaders in cities
where start-up activities are taking place and aligning food banking
systems with local resources, governments, and partners.

22. Why It Matters
Hunger on the rise. After years of
progress, hunger is increasing and
now affects nearly one billion people1.
Hunger kills. Each year, the death
toll from hunger and related diseases
exceeds that of AIDS, malaria, and TB
combined2.
Women make up a little over half of
the world's population, but they
account for over 60 percent of the
world’s hungry3.
