Serving communities together.

Since 2018, FoodCloud’s strategic partnership with AIB has enabled the redistribution of over 40 million meals to charities and community groups, reducing food waste while strengthening communities across Ireland.

Our Story.

FoodCloud’s partnership with AIB demonstrates the power of collaboration in creating a more sustainable and equitable food system. AIB has supported FoodCloud’s work to reduce food waste while strengthening communities across Ireland.

With over 12,000 volunteer hours donated to date, AIB’s support has empowered FoodCloud to innovate year after year. Working alongside FoodCloud teams, AIB have supported operations across our Hubs and Kitchen, as well as at farm level, gleaning surplus crops and helping us tackle food waste at every stage of the supply chain.

Every day in Ireland, over 835,000 tonnes of perfectly good food goes unused. But instead of being discarded, much of this surplus is now given a second life.

The AIB FoodCloud Community Meals Programme transforms surplus food into ready-made meals for charities that have limited or no kitchen facilities. In doing so, it enables organisations to provide vital food support to those who need it most.

Charities like St Andrew’s Resource Centre in Dublin’s inner city benefit from this programme, supporting their wide range of services, from Meals on Wheels for older people to education, employment supports and childcare for the local community.
