Rescuing food. Bringing people together. Since 2011.
From an idea to a movement

Big change.
Local beginnings.

A movement grows when ordinary people decide that something can be different. Refood’s story is about turning that decision into everyday action.

Good food. Shared purpose.
2011

A foundation for good.

Re-food 4 Good was founded in Portugal on 18 July 2011 to serve the Refood movement. A local response to surplus food and unmet need became a shared purpose.

2013

Public good, recognised.

On 15 April 2013, the association received Portuguese IPSS status: a private institution serving the public good.

Beyond
borders

An idea worth sharing.

The model reached other communities, including Madrid and Milan. Each local team brings the same commitment to its own neighbourhood.
