Let's understand a little better what "foodbanking" entails.
On a national basis, FoodBank South Africa (FBSA) works to source donated food and other grocery products. FBSA then arranges for these products to reach those who need it most, via the national system of community food banks.
The community food banks receive, store and sort food, and then issue it to local food aid agencies.
The food bank receives food from government agencies, farms, food manufacturers, food wholesalers, supermarkets and consumers.
The food bank then issues that food to food aid agencies. These are essentially the numerous organisations in the community which provide food to the needy. Agencies include orphanages, creches, old age homes, shelters, soup kitchens and HIV/AIDS clinics.
Pictorially the system can be shown as follows:
