Food Bank
Program 03
![](https://2hj.org/english/wp/wp-content/themes/2hj_en/img/activity_top_img3.jpg)
Food banking is our core activity. We collect food from a wide variety of sources and distribute it directly to those in need as well as the agencies that serve them. We continue our work to create a “food life-line” and “food safety-net” to make this work possible.
Advocacy & Development
Program 04
![](https://2hj.org/english/wp/wp-content/themes/2hj_en/img/activity_top_img4_v2.jpg)
One of the ways we are creating a food safety-net is through promoting food bank development. Our work includes public speaking, holding symposiums, conducting research, and participating in study sessions.
