Your Gift Will Help Us Make A Difference Today
WELCOME
Massimo and Lara’s belief in the power of hospitality and beauty to create social change sparked a global cultural movement, one that continues to grow through the work of Food for Soul and our Refettorio Network. With a decade of impact created, the simple but radical model Refettorio continues to be an effective strategy for community-based action, where causes connect to reduce food loss and waste, improve food security, health and well-being.
With our Refettorio Network, we create spaces where dignity, culture, and community are shared and surplus food becomes nourishing meals that promote dignity and sustainability. The Refettorio model emphasizes the transformation, value and care that becomes possible when meals are shared. Around the table something powerful happens: barriers soften, stories are exchanged, and a sense of belonging is restored.
Today, Food for Soul advances a growing international network of Refettorio projects across 10 countries in 16 cities, 12 of which are open, contributing to the following collective impact, between 2015 - 2025:
- Saving 2752 tonnes or 6,067,121pounds of food
- Serving more than 4,300,658 meals
- Nourishing 1.6489 M guests
- Engaging 176,435 + volunteers
- Partnering with 12 nonprofit partners
- Hosting 8 networking leadership development opportunities
