iGEN Presents Foodbank Lifeline Foundation for Corporate Sponsorship

On 23 June 2023, iGEN hosted presentations from four Maltese charities to secure member sponsorship. The event featured the Foodbank Lifeline Foundation alongside Malta Community Chest Foundation, Puttinu Cares and Malta Ranger Unit.

Charity Presentation Event

Each organisation received a 15-minute presentation slot. Foodbank Lifeline Foundation provides short-term nutritional support for residents facing benefit delays, low income, homelessness, illness or housing instability. The charity supplies non-perishable seven-day food packs containing canned goods, cereals, pasta, sauces and rice while care professionals arrange long-term assistance.

Food Distribution Operations

The foundation operates without institutional funding, relying on contributions from individuals and businesses. Donated food items undergo inspection and sorting before packing, while monetary donations purchase supplies through established distributor agreements. Established in 2015, the organisation distributes more than 16,000 food packs annually to over 300 households, with annual demand continuing to rise. The information was provided by iGEN.
