Optional Food Bank Tours
As part of the FBLI experience, GFN and BAMX are giving FBLI attendees the opportunity to visit one or two different food banks within the BAMX network. The food banks you can visit are:
Alimento Para Todos (APT): APT is a city food bank located in Mexico City. Established nearly 30 years ago, APT rescues 14,000 tons of food annually and serves over 116,000 vulnerable people.
Banco de Alimentos Puebla: This food bank in a large, new facility is located approximately 2 hours outside of Mexico City. Due to the location, this tour will focus on working with the agricultural sector to rescue surplus food from farms.
GFN will arrange these tours and provide transport between the Sheraton hotel and the food banks.
