With millions of Nigerians struggling to get access to food amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, FCMB have come together with a coalition of partners led by Babban Gona to create Givefood.ng, an emergency food relief platform to provide food and nourishment to Nigeria’s vulnerable our communities.

Givefood.ng is capable of getting over 1 million meals, donated to vulnerable Nigerians in need every week by caring Nigerians just like you.

Collectively, the partners will provide a technology-enabled logistics solution to help those who want to direct their resources to the most vulnerable, while ensuring the availability of food packs at easily accessible points for those in need of them.

So if you're an individual that wants to give food to the vulnerable in the society and you don't know how to go about it, you can simply visit givefood.ng to make your donations.

So far, the group have donated over 190,000 meals already.

Please visit https://givefood.ng/ to find out how you can make a difference with as little as N2,000.

Since our government ve failed to provide food, and money to the masses amidst this pandemic influenza and the lockdown, it really gladens my heart to see brands touching lives whichever way they can.

This is no easy task, there're people who need help amongst us, the little we can do will really go a long way to ease the burden. change truly starts with us.

190k meals already? That's huge. Good to see brands thinking outside their bottom line and actually giving back to the people. Nice initiative from all partners
and I heard they are doing more than the meals even. And its good to see banks like FCMB and the others give back

Hunger is a major problem as far poverty is concerned, and in times like these it gets even worse, this is great philanthropy cos a million mouths being fed is no small feat.

Since our government has failed us then private institutions can bail the people out. God bless FCMb for that initiative

Awesome, this concept is a very good one from FCMB especially in this Covid 19 times, since it's open to the general public for donations too the 1 million mark might as well be well exceeded

It's not as if they've totally failed us but we still have to give it to both the government and the private sector.
