Thailand\u2019s Food Bank. Currently, a network of partners\u2014including the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), the Scholars of Sustenance Foundation (SOS), the Thai Chamber of Commerce, food industry operators, government agencies, and civil society organizations\u2014has been actively scaling up project implementation across multiple areas.<\/p><p>As of 2025, the initiative has expanded to six additional provinces, building upon the four original operational areas of SOS. The newly expanded provinces include Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Lampang, Lamphun, Phang Nga, and Surat Thani.<\/p><p>Looking ahead, the project aims to expand to eight provinces in 2025, twelve provinces in 2026, and reach at least 30 provinces across all regions of Thailand by 2028.<\/p><p>The successful expansion of this initiative and the establishment of a national food bank system require collaboration from all sectors. Everyone can play a role and contribute to the project. Once established, Thailand\u2019s Food Bank will help reduce the risk of food insecurity among vulnerable populations and low-income groups, while also significantly reducing food waste and its environmental impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c1cfdf elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1c1cfdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script>\njQuery(window).scroll(function() {\n    let elementTop = jQuery('#map').offset().top;\n    let windowHeight = jQuery(window).height();\n    let scrollPosition = jQuery(window).scrollTop();\n\n    if (scrollPosition > elementTop - windowHeight + 200) {\n        jQuery('#map').addClass('fade-in');\n    }\n});\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Us Food Bank A Food Bank is a non-profit concept that collects and redistributes food to charitable organizations supporting vulnerable groups in society, such as the underprivileged, persons with disabilities, the homeless, people living in urban slums, orphans, and low-income communities.
