GOZO FOOD BANK
Fulfilling a need in Gozo
FOOD BANK
A group of residents got together to fulfil a huge need in Gozo. There was no food bank in Gozo and with Covid19, we foresaw that people were going to need assistance with getting fed. With assistance from our local council, we received permission to go ahead - and Gozo Food Bank was formed. Free food packages are given to those most affected by the Covid-19 outbreak.
MALTA CHARITY CENTRAL
Connecting peoples’ needs to those offering to help
BASIC NEEDS
Malta Charity Central is a Facebook Group that aims to connect charities with the many generous individuals or companies in Malta. This group is intended for use as a notice board for charities or individuals involved in any kind of voluntary work to advise of any particular requirements/needs they may have. It can also be used to announce and promote fund-raising events organised by charities. In a small community like ours, we believe that Facebook, together with our input, can make a big difference to make this existing gap very small in making us all aware of what is happening and what is needed locally.
FREE FOOD MALTA
Bringing the community together to help those in need
FREE FOOD
Free Food Malta is a group on Facebook who is ready to help people who are in need of food. People who are in need can either write a post or contact the administrator describing their needs (food only). A post will be shared and someone from the group will offer food to the person in need.

MALTA TRUST FOUNDATION
Food Aid Project - Feeding those in need
FOOD BANK
The Malta Trust Foundation has set up a Food Aid Project with the support of the business community after it received an overwhelming number of requests from disadvantaged families who are among the worst hit by the coronavirus economic crisis.
ST JEANNE ANTIDE FOUNDATION
Supply of personal and home hygiene products
BASIC NEEDS
Unexpected changes in the life circumstances of many families we support are resulting in financial hardship, insecurity, instability, emotional distress and having to face the fact that accepting support on many levels is not shameful. We have, over the years, supplemented the insufficient incomes of families through the supply of personal and home hygiene products. For many families, food, toiletries and home hygiene items supplied by us have meant fending off eviction. At this time of crisis, many vulnerable families are facing difficulties in keeping up with daily necessities. This campaign is held to make sure no one suffers and is given help with their basic needs.
SOUP KITCHEN OFM VALLETTA
Providing more than just a hot meal
FOOD BANK
From the very beginning, Soup Kitchen OFM Valletta recognizes a greater hunger beyond the hunger for food and their goal has always been to provide our guests with more than a hot meal. They are going to serve up a range of programs to nourish the soul as well as the body, including providing hot, nutritious, well-balanced meals 3 times a week, which will later be increased to 5 meals a week.
