On the morning of August 10, the Da Nang Food Bank was officially launched, expected to be the first center for receiving and distributing relief food and the first zero-waste community consumption model in Da Nang.

This activity took place at 53 Le Dinh Chinh (Ngu Hanh Son Ward, Da Nang City), organized by the Da Nang Red Cross Society in coordination with the Vietnam Food Bank Network (Food Bank Vietnam).

The Da Nang Food Bank is expected to be the first center for receiving and distributing relief food and a zero-waste community model in Da Nang. The bank will play a connecting role between supply sources from businesses, farmers, and manufacturers with those in need of support such as poor households, vulnerable groups, people with disabilities, shelters, and open houses.

At the launching ceremony, the “Da Nang Food Community” project was introduced as a pioneering model combining hunger reduction, anti-waste and communication, education on responsible consumption.

The project focuses on building a community of zero-waste food consumers; establishing emergency food reserves; connecting businesses, farmers, and producers with humanitarian organizations; and communicating to raise public awareness about green lifestyles and sustainable consumption.
