Mission & Goals
Boroume (“We Can”) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce food waste and to fight malnutrition in Greece. Through our “Saving & Offering Food” program we save food on a daily basis from many sources and we offer it to charities that help people who are facing food insecurity. Starting in 2011, today we save & offer the equivalent of more than 50.000 portions of food on a daily basis. Since the beginning of our action we have saved & offered more than 105 million portions of food to hundreds of welfare organizations and charities all over Greece. We approach the issue of food waste holistically through the following programs: -> “Stop Food Waste”: increasing awareness about food waste -> “Boroume at School”: educational program -> “Boroume at the Farmers’ Market": gleaning program -> “National Alliance Against Food Waste": the Greek voluntary agreement aiming to reduce food waste -> “Boroume Gleaning”: reducing food waste on the field -> “No Food Waste" certification
