What we can do with your support

Every contribution brings us closer to providing healthy food for those who require it most. Specifically, this means that a family can enjoy fresh vegetables for a month with a contribution of €50.00. For €330.00 we can offer the same family fresh vegetables for an entire harvest season.

Our goal for 2024

As a private initiative, ensuring continuity is our greatest challenge. To support customers of Voedselbank Leiden with healthy food, we want to expand annually, aiming for 325 portions of freshly harvested vegetables every week in 2024. An ambition which assures Voedselbank Leiden of nearly 10,000 portions of fresh vegetables during this season. This seems ambitious, but it is still not sufficient to provide all the customers of De Voedselbank with fresh vegetables on the four days that they receive support. It is therefore, that we need your help to continue expanding, and making fresh vegetables available for everyone.
