The Tampere Food Bank
The Tampere Food Bank plays a vital role in addressing food insecurity. It serves as a central hub, collecting edible surplus food from local stores, food manufacturers, and professional kitchens. This collected food is then distributed to those in need. We also accept various product donations and raise funds to purchase additional food items. If you're interested in donating, please find more information here (page in Finnish).
Volunteer Opportunities and Employment Pathways
Our food bank provides meaningful opportunities for volunteers to contribute to our mission. Additionally, we offer pathways to employment for those who are currently unemployed. Join us in making a difference in our community.
