HOW MANY FAMILIES WILL YOUR COMPANY SUPPORT EACH MONTH?
The Food Lifeline Programme gives your company a simple, visible and meaningful way to support families in Malta.
Your monthly contribution is turned into food support for individuals and families referred to Foodbank Lifeline by social workers.
This is not a one-off appeal. It is ongoing community support.
MONTHLY SUPPORT. DIRECT IMPACT.
FOOD INSECURITY CAN HAPPEN SUDDENLY.

MALTA'S FIRST FOODBANK
SOMEONE REFUSED TO LOOK AWAY.
Foodbank Lifeline began in 2015, when Reverend Kim Hurst saw people in Malta searching through rubbish bins for discarded food and discovered there was no foodbank on the island.
What began in the basement of St Andrew’s Scots Church in Valletta grew from around 30 families a week into a formal foundation responding to a much wider need.
